We have 3 dogs, the youngest one, Rosie had to go out on a leash. She also had to go to the front yard. The others rarely were allowed there for bathroom visits. There was one "magic spot" that as soon as she reached it, she had to pee. After she did her business and we told her what a wonderful girl she was, we took her for a mini walk--only a half a block. She was happy. We were happy. The big girls did not like it that Rosie got extra walks, but they survived.
