[NAGDU] Guide dogs and potty pads

Sat Mar 25 16:17:07 UTC 2017

Nancy, an idea, a friend caught some of her dog's pea on a paper towel. She
put the towel in a zip lock bag and brought it with her on the cruise ship.
She put the paper towel with the dog's sent in the relief box. Her dog
smelled the her own sent and voila, the dog relieved with no problem. So an
idea for your balcony and however you set up it for privileges.

Warmly,
Becky and twelve year old Jake

Hi everyone,
So to add a little bit more information our guide dogs are nine and 10
respectively and they are getting older and we were thinking that as a
safety net to give them alternative in case we cannot get them outside quick
enough. We had thought of putting them outside on our balcony.
So our question is, how do we convince them that it is OK to go P there?
