Becca Knepper Webboard User Reg: 02-22-2005 Posts: 3 Loc: Offline	Please bear with me as i am new at this. Our four month old GSD spends the majority of his time, when he is not in his crate, roaming free in our fenced in yard. He can go poop an pee anywhere in the yard as we clean it up. However, he chooses to go right in front of the door on the welcome mat! (i have since removed the mat.)i have started feeding him on the front step and dropping meat scraps there in hopes that he will see that the stoop is not a bathroom, but a place that needs to remain clean. my husband says he will grow out of it. is there anything we are not doing that can remedy this messy situation? There is no try, only do. Master Yoda

My suggestion is: if the dog is crate trained watch him in the crate til you think he/she is ready to bust then take him directly to the spot you want. Repetition of exercise should convey the message. Jerry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
