Pee-pads. Put 'em in a corner of your house when you can't be there or when there's bad weather and train your dog to use them.

When worst comes to worst for me, I put the basenjis in the car and take them on a 5 min drive to a park, where I drag them from the car and they go.
I don't know if its because they are desperate, or the "stimulation" of being in the car, but this is my fool proof way to get the job done. -

I had to literally DRAG tayda and lenny around the yard today until they would go. so much for the easy fenced in yard.

I have to say, even when the weather is nice, my b's doen't like to "go" in the backyard.
Guess as they are out there sunning themselves, they see that as an extention of the house.
My dogs don't even like to go in my front yard..
Seems like they like to get away from where they live…at least that is what I find. -

Well, the rain has come our way now. Lillie also wouldn't go out. Finally at night I had to pick my husband up at the doctor. Before going into the car she stopped at the grass and took the longest pee I had ever seen! No poop yet. I think it's supposed to be sunny here tomorrow. (Wishful thinking?)

Buddy gives me the impression that he's saving all the poopies inside him for marking the park to extend his territorial gains...why waste precious markers on already-claimed property? When we go to the park, Buddy will usually poop 3-4 times; all properly distanced apart for maximum gain. We are lucky if he goes once in the backyard (or the front yard for that matter).

For Sure Basenjis hate to get their feet wet, or get wet PERIOD! I have to take Sahara out to potty with her leash, or she just wouldn't go. I take her out when it slacks, and sometimes I have to cover her with my umbrella. She is pretty good about getting to business most of the time, she is trained to know that the leash comes off when she goes, and she can run where she wants. These dogs are too much, but we LOVE them. haha"!!!!!

I love our trampoline! When it's raining hard, or after a deep snowfall, I just carry Samantha into the back yard and toss her under the trampoline to take care of her business. If I don't carry her out, she usually won't even go out the door.

It's funny how Lillie refuses to go outside in the rain to do her business. Surprise yesterday when it was raining, she spotted the rottweiler who lives down the block. She ran outside on my deck to get a good view of him. Hmm, what's that all about?:) Thankfully, it has stopped raining (at least for awhile) so my husband and son just took Lillie out for a long, long walk. She is so funny!
