Hates Rain  Empty Hates Rain

Post by Niffer Mon Aug 25 2014, 21:53

Since we adopted Milo in April this is the first day we have had substantial rain and find that poor Milo absolutely hates it. We're having a hell of a job getting him to go out the house & have to put a lead on him and lead him down the garden looking very very dejected until he goes toilet. I then give him praise and a treat when he goes back in but now I'm thinking I may be rewarding the unwanted behaviour.

Does anyone else have this problem & how do you deal with it?

Most staffies hate the rain, use vocal praise rather than treats . My dog drags me to the nearest shelter Laughing

Suki is the same. We still use treats to lure her out to go but she is extremely food motivated.

Daisy is a nightmare in the rain, for ages I had to take her into the garden on the lead to do her business, now she will go on her own but very reluctantly!
