stop dog from pooping in backyard cement walkway where kids come and go we try to show him where theres a corner of dirt by our trash cans , he went there once only
I'm sorry, after all the 'my dog poops all over the house' questions, this just strikes me as hilarious! Maybe some of those people that can't seem to get their dog to poop in the backyard at all can help you out! LMAO! Seriously though, you were doing the right thing with taking her on a leash and using praise and treats, it's just going to take longer to really get the dog to understand that this is where it needs to go. Just give it more time. When the dog starts to lead you to that spot, you'll know she has it down and doesn't need the leash anymore.
let your dog know that pooping on the cement is a bad/ unwanted behavior tell them no! when they do it ( strictly but not to harsh), when it is potty time encourage them to go where you want them to by putting them over there( at potty time) and if or when they try to go somewhere else put them back where you want them to go ( you may have to do this many times before they get the message) and if they go reward them by talking in a happy voice and say good girl/ boy 'dogs name'! and keep doing that until they start do do it on their own. my dad taught our dog coco to go in the garden this way.
