Change of environment for Lucas; Training?

[judy]

We have the same rule in our condo, but I ignore it because in order to get to the road, I have to walk through common areas. I certainly can't tell my dogs that they can go on that grass, but not on the grass other people are on! I also let them run off-leash in front of my townhouse, and go wherever they want. I usually pick up the poop, but if it's going to rain, I don't bother. It is a common area, but it is in front of my house, so nobody walks there. It's good fertilizer anyway.

I guess it depends on how your place is set up. If you don't have to cross common areas to walk the dog, they can fine you.

Do you have a deck or porch/balcony? I agree with Lindsey. Put an astroturf pad out there and train Lucas to go there. I have one and Annie uses it. Max figures outside is outside, and too bad! He poops on the deck itself. It's an easy clean up though. During the winter they are strictly pee pad trained, and they know what to do.

Is Lucas a yorkie?
