LOVEGSD is just really niceLOVEGSD is just really nice
Have you taken Benson out into the snow to show him it's fun? Maybe he's a little unsure of it as it's all new to him.....

Do you use a command word when you want him to do his business?

sami is a jewel in the rough
The snow directly outside our back door is now yellow because Sami practically hangs her bum over the step - pees - then comes back in!!! So I dont know that I can help much!! Cant be very nice having to stick your bits in the snow to do your business!!

i can only suggest a bit of snow clearing in one area

Hi guys well i cleared an area of snow so that benson could do his buisness and the cheeky little thing done it the other side of the garden lol it was a slow process but by this afternoon he was going out normally..... it was very hard though i had to resist playing with him in the snow as he is still meant to be resting his elbow!

We have steps down from our back door, OH cleared a path down the middle of them to make it easier for the little buggars to get out, now it's like a serious sheet of ice

NO WAY I'm going on a poo patrol in the garden tomorrow morning, can't get down the steps so have to leave all poos for OH when he's just worked a looonnnggg shift
