Do you stick to a routine, when taking your dog out for the toilet or do you let him/her let you know when they need to go? My dog seems to be getting lazy hes nearly 3 I take him for a long walk in the morning, then the rest of the day he just wants to go a short distance, does his business looks at me turns round and wants to go back home, he wont do his business in the garden either.
Our two have access to a secure rear garden about 18 hrs a day. When Kate and I are in charge Mon- Fri days they get one good run a day, usually driven to the Country Park and then a good gallop around. When they girls are home weekends they love to take 'em anytime they go out, they do use the Park as well tbf.
