We cracked it about a week in. Took him out for an exceptionally long walk first thing, when he'd been holding it in all night - knew he wouldn't be able to hold it for ever! Once he'd done it once (and looked quite surprised that he still could), it's wasn't a problem again.

My dog's the same. I got him a lovely warm coat, but he won't move when he's in it, just sits there shaking. My Mum then went and bought him a 3 Peaks coat that has just a clip around his belly, now he scampers and wees fine in it ! He obviously doesn't appreciate my taste lol

Hey

Just wondering if the coat has leg straps to keep it in place, although Teabag is a bitch she also seems to **** her leg when she pees and would not pee when the leg straps were in place, removed them and problem solved.

To get her to walk with it on to begin with was hilarious but I needed to be able to see a white dog in the snow!

I am sure he will get there with a little perseverance!

Ollie hates his coats, but he really doesn't have a thick coat (although he is a Springer, he is from a working line and has nowhere near as much hair as some and never needs to be clipped) and stands and shivers in the cold weather so he has to wear it when its cold. Luckily he does tend to squat so can go to the toilet with it on, but I don't think he would *** his leg with it on ( we will find out soon, despite being three and a half he has only just decided to *** his leg on some things when on a walk). I think if they really need to go then they will, so I would presever for now and see what happens. Worse come to the worse he can always go when he gets home, but he might get used to having it on and once he is distracted by what else is going on forget he is wearing it.
