Calm Down Time.

haha... what's dangerous here is when you get fresh poop while it's snowing... in as little as 10 minutes it can be competely covered... uneasy to spot... easy to... uh... not see... and... uh...

Have you ever thought of training your dogs to use a potty pen? This would eliminate this hazard. If you don't know what I am talking about here is a link to an article I wrote about how to train a dog to use it only and never the yard:

I have been fortunate to have this article published in multiple dog magazines. I have also writen other training articles that have been published multiple times in dog magazines as well. To check them out just go to the menu on the left and click on Training Pages.

Great article, Nichole. Sheena's such a beauty, and what a cute little puppy she was. I don't have a pen built, but my two each selected their own "designated area" in our current kennel. We're going to be moving, and I might try this at the new place, as the yard will be much smaller & it would be nice to keep it clean. Star won't even walk around in areas that are used for "potty", not a problem now but could be with a small yard.
