How to get my dog to "relieve" himself in one spot? I recently adopted a blind dog and he poops in different spots all over the small back yard I have. I would like him to do it one area. Is it possible to teach him?

I have heard of this once but couldnt tell you how it was accomplished. In this story, the owners built a wire kennel in their side yard and every time the dog had to go, took the dog to the wired in enclosure. It would have to be some corner you could permanently put some kind of marker for the boundaries, maybe something found in a gardening center. Once the dog got used to going in the designated area being led there by the owner, the dog developed the habit of going there itself and viola! no more poop all over the yard so you have to look where you step. I haven't had a dog in years and cant remember where I heard it but know its possible. Maybe something similar can be found in a pet training book. Just look for chapter on training a dog to use the same place each time, and if it doesn't have that, keep looking til you find it. ]
