We have a mid-sized fenced-in front yard & a larger (unfenced, uneven, not well-landscaped) backyard. I'm hoping to let DS play in the front yard this spring since he'll finally be able to walk & run! But the front yard is where we let the dog out to do his duty. He just uses the whole front yard like a giant litterbox... Of course we clean it up as often as possible but it's hard to find every last pile... sorry for the gross factor... and it seems like the yard would be too germy for DS to play in.
Is there an EASY way I can train the dog to go only in one area? I also thought we could put an extra row of fence to divide the front yard but it would just look ridiculous. We can't let the dog out the back yard because it's not fenced & the only door to there is in the basement (I'm not going to the basement to let him in/out 10 times a day!!) But maybe there's another idea I'm not thinking of...
