I love Fall, don't get me wrong but with Fall comes the rain and with the rain comes Rain Drama!
Both of the girls have been complete pills about going outside and going potty. Even with their coats on, which by the way, they own better coats than me, they still hate bad weather. It kind of sucks!
Recently Phoenix has started balking at the stairs and the edge of the grass. She doesn't want to go out into the rain and she doesn't want to step into the wet grass because it's icky. I don't blame her but we live in Oregon and she has to go potty outside.
Lately, they've both been hovering behind my legs and refusing to potty. It can be pretty frustrating but I am going to try to work on it!
Do your dogs like the rain?
They don't like the rain too. I guess they don't like the feel of wet soil on their precious paws.
ReplyDeleteKatie didn't like rain, but she went out like a trooper and did her walk and her business. Bailie and I don't care about weather of any sort. We enjoy being out in all weather.
ReplyDeleteHailey doesn't love the rain but she will do her business in it!
ReplyDeleteTitus doesn't care; Lilo hates rain with a fiery passion. Pit bulls melt in the rain, you know.
ReplyDeleteYikes, poor babies. It rains a lot in Oregon. I was born and raised in Tillamook Oregon and it rained a lot.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof day you two. My best to your mom. ☺
Me and Brinley aren't too bad bout da rain - we just wanna play in it.
ReplyDeleteFinley hates it wif a pashun.
I've got WELSH dogs and they'd rather not go out in the rain! "Let's just hold it" is their motto!
ReplyDeleteMy dogs love the rain, as odd as that may sound. I think it's because they're Labs, and rain is a form of water.
ReplyDeleteDoes rewarding them every time they go potty outside help? I feel certain that you've tried that... I had to do that with a dog a long time ago -- and she started faking that she was peeing to get treats! That was hysterical.
Bar hates the rain. I can't even get her out the door to potty if it's raining hard, but I figure if she really has to go, she'll go out and we just wait and try again later when it's done or at least not raining as hard. Good luck convincing the girls they need to go out!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a dog who minded the rain, but we're no strangers to drama around here - it just comes in different forms. I can imagine how frustrating that must be, good luck with coming up with a solution.
ReplyDeleteImagine my world! Harley is dragging behind because he HATES the rain, while Jaxson is pulling like a sled dog running for puddles and rolling around because he LOVES the rain. I'm just trying to stay upright! I feel your pain :)
ReplyDeleteMy girl Phoebe hates the rain more than anything too. She'll hold it in for the Longest time! Maybe you need to move to Phoenix AZ, where it Never rains!
ReplyDeleteLove & biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
My dogs don't mind going out in the rain, but they don't want to be left outside without us. At least once a day, you'll find me standing at the door and repeating "go potty; no, go potty; no no no, go on and go potty."
