Well, we'll take the wins where we can get them. Ever since Chibi was a puppy, we haven't been able to let her go pee/poop outside without supervision (and on leash). Mostly because our backyard has TONS of ground cover and we are visited by many many many several many cats that deposit a bunch of cat mines in the ground cover.
Chibi would always bolt away from us, not come back in, and come in after eating a good share of cat poop. Seeing as we can't have that, we always had to take her out on leash to pee/poop in back. With repetitive training, she no longer tries to bolt on leash at least, but if left to her own devices, would go look for cat mines and return with very unpleasant breath.
Sumo however, has been much better about going out the door, IMMEDATELY turning right towards the grass, doing business and returning on demand/call. Mostly because he's terrified of the pool and won't walk towards the ground cover because it means passing by the pool.
The last few times, we have been able to let him go off leash and do business and then he'll run back in the house with no distraction. YEA!
