[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a fenced "dog run" beside our house.  We put down water permeable black gardening paper (mainly to keep the weeds down), and it is covered with gravel. We originally had mulch, but the dogs tracked it into the house.  We scoop the poop immediately after the dogs have been out there, and it stays pretty clean.  There is a short fence between the dog run and the yard.  We have to add gravel a couple of times a year.

We first took the dogs out on a leash into the dog run, but I leave the gate open and now both dogs know to go straight into the dog run when let out our back door, and even if we're just hanging out in the yard, they generally will go into there to use the bathroom.

One of our dogs actually likes hanging out there.  It's a nice, sheltered area with a dog house and covered by shade trees, and I think it makes him feel safe. [/quote]

Thank you!  Does the area smell?  I read using some sort of rock makes it easy to spray off with the hose and eliminate a pee smell.  [/quote]
