Some small faeces will invariably be missed only to be discovered under foot. I happily sleep on my lawn after a few beers in the sun. My children play on it and eat off it no doubt. I have friends and family over without worrying where they stand. I know I will sound like a dog snob but when I go to someone’s house (frequently due to my profession) and they say “oh mind your step, we have dogs” I always have to catch myself from finishing “that you haven’t bothered to train”. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Especially people with children as you say. Also people with several dogs (which often people with gundogs will have) have a much worse impact of the pee stains on the grass. It’s alright if you have a big garden but not everyone does. Not everyone just walks across the grass as you say, many people surprisingly like to lie on the sun, sunbath, have a nap etc. I don’t want to lie on the ground where the dog has moments before had a pee or poop. Guy Wallace describes exactly what you suggest in his training books. Train the dog to go in a corner of the garden that he has covered, think he uses slabs. A lot more hygienic as easy to clean up and disinfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
