Barneys powers of persuasion from beyond the grave ...

Was she on shavings at the kennels? If so try putting a handful of shavings (from the kennels ideally) in the garden. Bitches can be ****** for holding their wees, we had one who would only go at home which was a nightmare when we were showing.

Nope, was clean in her kennels apparently. She finally went (indoors 😐) about an hour ago
 
Dry shavings might help. My beagle is dreadfully fussy and always has been about where she will wee. Dry shavings often encourage her as do dry leaves. But her favourite for a long time was indoors. She will also pee on her bed at times, she seems to like dry and/or fluffy surfaces

One of mine was so conditioned to being in kennels that she wouldnt pee on grass, just on concrete.

There's concrete areas in the garden, shes been pooing outside fine but no progress on the weeing although hopeful, she's more relaxed out there now, getting used to the strange noises and able to explore a bit. So hopefully that'll help crack it!

That is so fab to hear :) it has been six years since I adopted my last one, I love my current 4 hounds more than words can ever say, but getting a new one is very special :)

Still adores the bed, been a happy little soul. Over grown lapdog 😅
Been for a couple of walks with my nans jack/chi, he's entire and to be honest has no 'dog' skills, barney was incredibly tolerant and ignored his attitude problems. Shes ok with him but has a growl at him (rightly so) when he comes at her head on and jumps around like a mad thing. He's being done in Jan (thank fook!) so should hopefully calm him down a bit.
Looking for training/obedience classes for her to start in January and seeing as shes so energetic/agile hopefully leading onto a bit of agility.
 
She's absolutely beautiful...
My suggestion is to invite Nan's dog over for the day...let him have a pee fest in your garden and I bet she will follow him to pee..
 
Mayhem hound is definitely settled in 😄

She's very smart, has worked out the house training in about 5 minutes, realized that other breeds of dog that don't resemble greyhounds are still dogs. So happy when around dogs off lead etc after being a bit nervous at first. Got used to my nans tiny terror and now happily stealing all the chews he leaves lying around. More or less ignores the cat.

Her personality comes out more by the day!

Eta - her bounciness is unreal, B was always very careful with his movements. Had the odd funny five minutes but calm on the whole. Shes like a kangaroo on blue smarties half the time and asleep the rest!

Forgot to add, I get the full run down of her day at bed time. 😅 its hilarious, a whole conversation and shes not even remotely bothered by fireworks which is a huge relief as B was terrified bless him

My pup is like that. I didnt expect it! The big dog wouldnt jump like that if I put him in an ejector seat! But Floyd just seems to jump for fun. He casually hopped over the coffee table about 20mins ago. He must have been about 5 feet in the air, then managed to land gently on the sofa. Hes got springs in his heels!
