[nagdu] Teaching Dog to Spend on Concrete

[cheryl echevarria]

Hello Leye:
Cheryl Echevarria here. I am not sure which guide dog school you graduated from, but the Guide Dog Foundation of the Blind, Smithtown, NY. Where I graduated from with my dog Maxx back in 2007.
We were taught only to take our dogs on concrete or the street, it helps especially at conventions and other places where they don't have a grassy area. Maxx will go in almost any place if he has to go bad enough.
Especially on cruise ships, since on the ships they need a relief box, or in some places they do not allow dogs to go on the grass.
I am not sure since I only had one experience at one school to know if the other schools do this.
I think it is the right thing to do, especially if there is any reason why the dog cannot go on the grass.
Lets face it out dogs for those that go to state or national conventions they really don't like those boxes, and many dogs have accidents in the hotels, etc.
Where if they just curbed there dog there wouldn't be a problem.
