only pee in really long grass

Hi
I am new here, and I'm hoping someone can help.
Bought a 3year old male last week, who is really well behaved and lovely, but for some reason he will only pee in really long grass, so we are limited to where we can walk him. Any ideas on how to get him to pee on normal grass? Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for your question but just wanted to say HI and welcome to the forum.
I'm sure somebody will come along soon with some ideas.

Look forward to learning more about your new Boy, and seeing some pics

everytime he does a wee say a word ( I say widdles ) and eventually when you say the word your boy will associate it with going to the toilet. ( though mind you it is alot easier with a little puppy.. but perserverance is the key! ) then you can use it to your advantage!
I guess when he wees in the long grass it feels better for him because it is not splashing up on his legs!
I am sure someone else will have some ideas too.....
..maybe he is just modest, and thinks you don't know what he's up to!

It may be the change when we got Milly and started taking her out she would not have a wee or the other when we took her out we could be out 2 hours and nothing but as soon as we got home she would dive frantic to the back garden to go. In time as her confidence grew she started to go outside on walks, he may just need time to settle a bit xx

You could ask were you got him from we there any issues

Hi and welcome to the forum i have the same problem with kaiser but it is with his number 2's he will only do it either on something he can perch on or over long grass its really strange think it must be a staffy thing because i know of a few that do it

lol Don't go to the long grass, he can not hold it for long so just be patient, take him to short grassed area, plonk your back side down, him on a long lead and just wait, when he does go lots of positive reinforcement and keep at it pretty soon, you'll have to stop him from going anywhere lol.
My female refused to wee on concret, so i made sure she held it as long as possible while still drinking took her to the pit road, concrete bit, no cars etc and adventually she simply had to go.

well bud my staffy only goes to the number 2's in a bush out of the way...maybe he is shy...hehe
