[nagdu] concrete tips

[Hannah Chadwick]

No Lea. She refuses to go on concrete and I want her to because it's really
difficult to pick up after her when the grass is practically fludded over
with muddy water...

I think that it is a good idea to keep your dog in the habbit of using
different kinds of grounds just in case but no matter the reason why Hannah
is having her dog go on concreet, even though she did say it was because her
dog will not go on the grass while it is wet and mushy from the rain, my
advice for now is to just try to find a spot under a tree or something.
Maybe in the fewture you can put something over a patch of grass when it is
going to rain to help shelter it from getting soggie? But I still think it
is a good idea to keep them in the habbit of using all kind of ground. Maybe
putting something over the grass like wood chips for now/ You can get a bag
cheep at the store for hamster cages.
