Suddenly scared of the grass?! I was going to put this in the training section, but it has more to do with something else that is causing the training issue. We have had Wrigley (3 month old male) since September 1st. It didn't take him long to learn that when we go outside it means that he goes to the bathroom. He had that part down. The only part of training he had issues with was letting us know if he suddenly had to go. Well we were working with that, and then one day he suddenly became scared of going onto the grass. Like we literally have to pick him up and put him on it and he runs pulling on the leash trying to get onto the sidewalk. This is certainly putting a kink in our potty training. He won't go outside now unless he absolutly needs to go. We bought some pee pads today to try to shift our focus, and he just wants to eat it... soooo Anyways, are any of your dogs scared of the grass? And if so what do you do to help them to get over it? He wasn't scared of it a few days ago, this just started probably about 4 days ago. And about at this same time he is having issues with sleeping or even being in his crate at all, he barks and he wasn't barking at all before except when he was playing. |
my jolliver didn't like the grass either, he'd step into it for a second and sometimes i had to put him there. the funny thing is that he will go all the way around driveway which is a much longer walk to get to the fornt door. he has gotten much better. he his 11 months old now. |
My Ceasar HATES the grass and does everything possible not to go on it. He pees and poops on the concrete driveway or sidewalk! On a rare occassion he might step in it, then realized what he did and runs back to "safety". I don't know why he doesn't like it - maybe because it was cold and wet a lot - but he doesn't really like dry grass either. Don't know how to get them over the fear! Good luck |
Wow I forgot I even posted this. The mowed and it seems he is better with the grass now. He just doesn't like it when it starts getting kinda tall. He especially hates it in the morning when it is wet!!! He is such a diva He is doing better now, he was in such a funk for a few days! |
Mine too! He will freak out if I try to put him on grass, but if he needs to go potty, he will walk there and once he's done, he run right off the grass! I'm guessing he think grass = potty place = dirty?!?! lol |
