Dog potty area update

[@jennifermeans95]

Thanks for sharing your experiences building and using the potty area! Very helpful.

[@dgorgeouses8545]

Use food grade diatomaceous earth for the bug issue! They generally sell it by the pound at feed stores & as long as it's not raining a lot in your area it should work. I'm looking forward to creating one of these areas for my lawn. :)

[@TheALG]

I will give it a try and see how it works

[@randyiihill6446]

The dog potty area is a great idea...... Thanks for sharing your experience with it..The pros and cons.

[@KJB0001]

my brother who lives in SC has a BEAUTIFUL lawn that golf course managers would be jealous of - and his new Labradoodle's urine was leaving burn marks so he now gives him a probiotic chew and the burn marks stopped

[@wollins2]

Just commented on the first vid and then found this one. Again, AWESOME info and this follow up is much appreciated cause I had some of the same questions! lol Thumbs up AGAIN from me. 😉

[@TheALG]

Good luck and it's so worth it.

[@DogMom56]

What a help! Thank you and your dog is beautiful!

[@GirLzLawn]

Super helpful. I'm about to tackle this project! Thanks!

[@Striperman]

We trained our dog as a puppy to go to the rock section in our yard. It has worked well for clean up too :)

[@TheALG]

What kind of rocks?

[@anthonyocasio1383]

Great video thank you so much! Best idea I’ve seen so far!

[@LawnRight]

Really like this idea! I'll be doing a video at some point and will refer people to.your video if that's ok. Need to do this with my dog!

[@butterflyent.9266]

You could use a lemon garlic boiled water mixture to spray in the area as an organic odor neutralizer to kill order causing bacteria that can help eliminate bugs. And putting a doggy Dooley for the poop in the in the that area like a organic toilet for your dog poo

[@TheALG]

Never knew that was an option. I will give it a try.

[@mahtabsharifi4982]

Very useful thanks brother

[@larab.2079]

Thanks for the helpful video! Any tips on how to train your dog on using the potty area? My puppy prefers the grass in the garden to the stones in the potty area... She's only 5 months old, hopefully I'll manage to teach her.

[@TheALG]

Take your pup first thing in the morning on a leash and just stay at the spot until he or she goes. Just to warn you, it may take a while, I think the first time it took over an hour.

[@larab.2079]

@@TheALG Great idea! I'll definitely try that 👍

[@TheALG]

Forgot to mention, pick a word and stick to it. For example, I say the word pee-pee and my dog will go to the spot.

[@larab.2079]

@@TheALG Love that! Thank you!!

[@fairwaybermudalawn]

Great info 👍 rob love the channel bro always great info sir

[@grownfolksperspective2988]

Can you put the larger river rocks all over? Does your dog go on the bigger rocks too?

[@TheALG]

She only goes to the peagravel. The bigger rocks are there for mostly water.

[@CupofTs]

Hi Sir, mom watched how you built a potty for your dog and also this update. Just want to ask because our fence is concreate does the pea gravel and white stones covered with moss during time especially rainy season?

[@TheALG]

So far, I have not seen anything green looking. I imagine that can be an issue if it is in full shade and remains wet.

[@kierah16]

Thanks so much!!

[@simplyemz5139]

I know this is a bit of an older video, but can someone please help me. Im planning on making a potty area on our balcony, I am thinking of using a kiddie sand box that is around 125cmX125cm and height is 14cm. So any ideas on how to fill it up, layer by layer(my balcony floor is tiled, with a small drain a few feet away from where I plan on placing the sand box. I need to protect the tiles as we are renting) Also would I need to make drainage from the sand box to the drain, or would the layers in the box be enough to absorb and dry out🤔 my first plan was to put in real grass turf, but now im thinking of gravel. ideas would be very much welcomed and appreciated 😊

[@humanbeing1065]

Thanks for your question! I have the same one! I've decided to make a box area with the pea gravel, but I'm not sure about drainage either. Or how urine evaporates. With this example on the video, I'm wondering if the urine collects on the plastic barrier beneath the gravel. Good luck and share your findings!

[@angelalampani9201]

Where do you dispose of the solid waste? Do you use one of the in-ground disposal systems or does it go into the trash?

[@TheALG]

Trash. If I put it anywhere else, I would have a fly invasion.

[@angelalampani9201]

@@TheALG thanks. I want my yard back from my dog. Now to figure out the best spot.

[@TheALG]

Don't forget the training. Be consistent at it everyday. Bring the dog to the potty spot on a leash and just wait. Goid luck

[@szy0931]

a question: in the hot summer, would it be too hot on the rocks?

[@TheALG]

The area gets about 5 hours of direct sun light. My dog has no issues walking on the rocks.

[@szy0931]

@@TheALG Thanks

[@michellebradford4564]

What is your procedure for washing down the area?

[@TheALG]

Once a month, take a hose aand lightly spray it down only if it has not rained. 3 times a year, spring summer and fall, I use dish soap in a pump sprayer and spray the area. I come back 15 mins later and wash it down.

[@barbarasolomon5962]

What is the size of your corner? I have two dogs and they are larger than yours. Mine are also diggers, I'm afraid they would spread pea gravel everywhere 😂

[@TheALG]

It's about 10 by 12. This is possible with any type of dog or dogs. Training is key.

[@charliemullem7482]

which pea gravel did you use ? can you send a picture ?

[@TheALG]

I used bags from home depot and lowes. It doesn't matter what brand you use, they are all the same.

[@charliemullem7482]

@@TheALG I still like to see a picture , I saw a picture on your video somewhere but can not find it anymore.

[@charliemullem7482]

Are there sizes in the pea gravel choice ?

[@TheALG]

@charliemullem7482 it's been a few years since I did this. It might have been from Vigoro at home depot

[@TheALG]

It only comes in one size.

[@rarityd]

Do the gravels get stuck under your donkeys paws?

[@amydelpiere9315]

hew haw LOL!

[@butterflyent.9266]

Also I have a female dog and she tends to squat really low to the ground to pee I wonder if the small gravel bits will get in her private area and cause problems?

[@amydelpiere9315]

ask your vet - but rocks are not going to stick to your dog's sensitive bits!

Mulch eats the urine ……
