And then Leave it with Cheese. This is still a hard one for Ajax but he is getting it.

You can see him eyeing up Luca's cheese in this one.

And of course I must show you all that I have 3 happily potty penned trained shepherds. Any family that would visit loved it because they never had to worry about stepping in anything.

My personal favorite is the last cheese shot if you look close you will see that Sheena's cheese is laid right on her leg. I do this on purpose. When going to a restrant or a grocery store you never know where the food could end up being on her if someone tosses it onto her. So she must ignore it. We went to see National Treasure at the Movie Mill on Tuesday and of course some teens kept turning around and tossing popcorn off of Sheena. She ignored it all. And didn't even attept to eat it later. Hubby asked them to stop and when they didn't he went and got the manager and they were told to stop or to leave. So they stoped. Sheena got a huge treat that night.

Luca's piece ist between his paws closer to the chest and Ajax has only progressed to in front of his paw but he is getting there.

I am SO jealous of the potty yard!

My hubby and I have been talking about it because our house is on the market now and when we move we are going to have a potty yard.

Was it hard to train them?
Did you put them in their till they went potty, then let them out in the rest of the yard?

Thanks. Here is a link to the article I wrote on how I train my dogs to use it:

You can modify it to your schedule as you know your dogs the best. I will never ever not have a potty pen. It is so much easier and cleaner and makes guest so much happier and me to with kids.
