Sam won't go potty outside when there is bad weather, even when it's just raining. He made 2 mistakes today because it's raining and it will be for the next 4 days. He's wonderful otherwise and never potties in the house. It's very frustrating. He acts like he's going to die or something if he goes in the rain. :rolleyes:

Nacey and Charlie are like that too, they HATE to go outside when it's raining. I've been think about getting something like this (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_2/602-0947939-6700618?%5Fencoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0006Q18WC).

That's a neat idea, but my mom would never buy it just for the dogs. lol

Maggie is the same way; she will walk in the rain only when I force her to, then won't go potty, and will use the floor in the house when she gets inside, no matter how long I force her to walk in the rain. :( On the few occasions that she's done something while walking in the rain, I of course praise her, etc. but I don't think she notices...getting to go back in the house is the better reward to her :rolleyes: She also refuses to go in tall grass, wet or dry...More mowing for my husband, I guess :D

Don't you wonder what goes on in there little brains? I suppose there isn't much of a way I can fix the problem.

I've found that walking helps. Marta will stay on the porch too when it's raining, she will hold it but I feel like she needs to go so I will walk her down the block and she forgets all about the rain. Vallis won't leave the porch even if the rain is stopped but it's muddy!!
