Whay should I do to my yard? I have a small fenced in back yard for the dogs to go potty in, well the grass has never grown very well there as it is shady most of the day, now there is hardly anything but dirt. Winter will be here before you know it and the rain and snow is going to make it a muddy mess, so that means wiping the dogs feet everytime they go out before they come back in. Talk about a hassle, on 3 dogs, plus they hate it. So does anyone have any ideas on what I could put on the dirt to cover it so it won't get muddy but yet they will potty on and easy to get the poo up? I was thinking mulch maybe, sometimes they go in the front yard and always seem to want to go to my bed that has mulch in it to go. I want it to be safe for them, yet easily cleanable. I plan on tilliing up what grass there is and covering with something before fall sets in. We don't use that part of the yard for anything but the dogs to potty in. Any advice??? |
I wish I could help you! I have the same problem with my little "potty" yard... If you get any great ideas, please share.... good luck... d |
It's too late too try to plant grass, so I guess I might try putting down hay. It's easy to clean up, and not to expensive. |
The grass won't grow there, I have tried, so the grass is out all together. I though of hay but I think it would stick to their fur, at least Lilys and Roccos my pom. |
get some doggie shoes... that is what i planned to do because of the wet winters, mud, snow and slush |
As much as I am letting them out, I would die if I had to put shoes on them every time. Good idea though. |
Even if the hay get's on them it's really easy to get off. I worked with horses, and sometimes they got it on them, and I just brushed them off. Just a thought. |
So far that is probably the best thing. I have been searching the web and have found synthetic grass that is for pets. that sounds great, no one in my area to install though and I don't know if hubby and I could get it right. Anyone have this? |
Would a thick layer of pine straw help? Whichever you choose, I'm sure if you add to it as time goes by, it would help the mud situation. |
I am putting mulch in my backyard. It is shaded like yours |

I was been reading on other sites that some people use a small pebble that is soft, I forget what they called it now. So straw,mulch or pebble? So confusing... |

Yeah, I think mine would go on it too. That would definately look better than straw. |
