My 2 dogs are terrible for peeing and pooing on the concrete. We live in tropical Nth QLD, so we have heaps of wet rainy days. They drive me nuts. I have spent the whole morning supervising their toileting. If they don't go and the wet grass, I have been crating them. I can't stand the smell of dog waste on the concrete during wet, it just doesn't go away. :p I would suggest getting a crate and taking your dog out for regular toilets when it's wet. They are most unlikely to soil/wet the crate. I know, this is great for people who have time to dedicate a whole day to watching dogs pee and poo!! See how you go. - Andy.

I have a near 6 month old weimaraner puppy. She refuses to pee or poo outside on the grass overnight. EVERY morning I wake to at least 3-4 poos on the cement downstairs. She has access to the grass all night but just won't go. I have a crate for her but she whinges terribly overnight. Her feed time is 7am, so I can't understand why she needs to go 3-4 times overnight. And also, if it's raining...FORGET IT! She will not go on wet grass or if it's raining. This is a problem, as we live in tropical north queensalnd!! Any suggestions? What can I use to clean up the mess/odour on the cement that will also aid in discouraging her from ggoing in the same spot? It's driving me crazy and taking away some of the ehjoyment of owning an otherwise wonderful dog. Thanks for any advice.
