I love my dog, 6 years old, about 50 lbs. he’s sweet and wonderful. But. He insists on going outside 4-5 times a day to go pee because he never goes all the way to empty his bladder. He’ll insist on finding a ‘good’ smelling area and will wet there, quit, and even if there is a block longer on our walk he’ll stay full until we get home only to insist on going back out a short while longer.
How do I deal with this? I’m a city apartment dweller and have to put on full winter gear and go outside with him so it’s becoming a frustration of mine.
Take him to the same place every day, no stops, no sniffing, walk to the potty spot, do the potty, walk back home. Worked for my old dog a while back when we moved from having a hard to having no yard.
