Yeah - I tried the treat thing, they were not impressed So I thought take them on an actual walk (which they both love) as opposed to just letting them out in the back yard. We were not even past the front yard when a firecracker went off, and Leo got freaked out and tried to take off. Needless to say, I was the one that ended up on my a**. The good thing is Penny did at least pee - and Leo as a bigger dog doesn't need to go as often. God - can I last till July 4th is over@#@!#$$%%$@$%!!!
