[nagdu] going off leash

[Julie J.]

Hannah,

Are you relieving her on concrete or grass or something else?  I know a 
lot of people prefer their dogs to relieve on concrete because that is 
the way they were trained and it's easier to pick up.  I totally can 
understand that.  I also know that some dogs strongly prefer grass and 
sometimes you have to choose your battles.  Not sayin' you should 
relieve her on grass if that isn't what you want to do, just tossing it 
out as a thought.
