New dog - how to train not to defecate in own garden

Road-Hog · 20-11-2019 06:48PM #1

We recently obtained a two year old English springer from a family who had him as a pup and who had trained him very well......apart from the above....... we now have him 8 weeks and have tried all sorts of ways to get him to do his sh1te outside our property boundary but to no avail. He will do his business occasionally during a long walk in either evening or am but there is no real consistency.....on an inspection of the back garden I still find lots of his ‘stuff’ daily. has anyone out there any tips...? The max he is left without anyone at the house Is 4/5 hours. He spends most of his time outside he is not a ‘house dog’

Really? It's an animal, why shouldn't he be able to take a shît in his own garden?

Go and do a sh1t in the neighbors garden every morning for a fortnight and he'll soon get the message (*_*)

Honestly, it's the dogs territory, you'll not be able to stop it

Why is he not allowed do it in the garden ?
I presume you pick it up from outside the garden so why not pick it up from in the garden ?

Just when you think you’ve read it all.

This drives me mad. Dogs are bred to need human company, not be left outdoors all the time. Why bother having a dog at all

Road-Hog · 20-11-2019 07:35PM

I’m getting a hiding here.........of course I pick up the ****e but is there no truth in the saying ‘dogs don’t **** on their own door step’....? When growing up we had several dogs and they always did their stuff on neighbors front garden or whe our for a walk.....rarely in ‘their own patch’....!

I don’t think a springer is a suitable ‘house-dog’...?

So when not at home you would leave your dog in the house/garage in a confined space.......surely out i the back with shelter and space to roam while not at home is a good idea....?

If a neighbours dog shat in my front garden regularly I would be furious .

Nah. I Leave the dog ****e all over the place. Never pick it up it’s disgusting and foul smelling.....I love seeing people walk in it and their subsequent reactions.

seefin · 20-11-2019 07:39PM

Sorry, thought you left outdoors 24 hours a day, ok if just when ye not at home. Have a neighbours dog kept like this and distressed, constantly barking etc so felt really strongly about it.

I don’t understand the sarky answer . If you are picking up after him why not pick up from your own garden ?

Jaysus ... please consider rehoming the dog to a family who will be ok with a dog going in their own garden and also keep the dog indoors!

You appear to know little about dogs and even less about springers!!!

Just get a small metal shovel, like out of a fireplace set, and use that. Dogs mark their territory by pissing around it. It's what they do. You couldn't expect it to piss in its own turf but not sh1t.

Seriously has to be a troll...

It is you that's disgusting,you should never have a dog.

cml387 · 20-11-2019 07:46PM

If we may sum up so far, the OP is suggesting that dogs should be trained to poo in other people's gardens, and there's no obligation to pick it up.

Hmm.

Unless you have any tips on how to train a dog not to use the garden as a toilet, then dont post in this thread.

Op in order to train a dog to do anything, you have to be there with them.

Mark out a section where the dog is allowed to go and take him there on a lead when he has to go. Of course you will need to be watching the dog like a hawk to know this. Keep the rest of the garden spotlessly clean ie. Clean up accidents as they happen and he will eventually get the idea.

Do you really think I’d leave piles of dog sh1te all over a garden my own or anyone else’s......?

My query is simply.......is there any way of training a dog not to do it’s sh1t within its own territory...?

I obviously didn’t do too good of a job explaining myself in the opening post.....what you have typed above is totally the opposite to what I was querying

Thanks for the warning.......believe it or not I actually am a responsible dog owner who cleans up their sh1te be it on my own garden,
third parties garden, footpath, public or private land/ beach etc....!

So you want your dog to hold its **** while you could be away sometimes for five hours and then wait until you to decide to walk it??

That’s the obvious way but not always practical during the week.....! Weekends he get 5k twice a day and does 2 x sh1ts on average during the walk however I can still find 2/3 more in the garden even after all the walking......he is a sh1t-a-Holic.........does diet play much of a role....original owners fed him dry feed only which we have continued to do......we don’t feed him scraps or other sh1te......99% of his turds 💩 are well formed and solid.....and have a consistent colour and foul smell...!

Why don't you hold it in all day and just **** on the walk with the dog as well OP and see how you like it.

I'm sure you could find a bush somewhere.

It's the matter of you wanting your dog to hold it until it's walked is what the issue is. Do you know how uncomfortable that is, even as humans?
