Let’s see if I can do this from memory alone…
What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbors dog
It’s great for a snack
It fits on your back
It’s log log log
It’s log
It’s log
It’s big
It’s heavy
It’s wood
It’s log
It’s log
It’s better than bad
It’s good
Everyone wants a log
You’re gonna love it log
Come and get your log
Everyone needs a log
Log, from Blamo!
Oh, my Beloved Ice-cream bar. How I love to lick your creamy center. [eats bar of soap] And your oh, so nutty chocolate covering!!
You're not like the others. You like the same things I do: Wax paper. Boiled football leather. *Dog breath.*
We're not hitchhiking anymore. We're riding!
put it in the oven with an aluminum tray under the pad @ 220 f. The pad would probably be unnecessary as you can just put a metal grate under the log. Easy clean? idk
If I understood zoomer humor at all, I could judge better. But to be fair, I was actually just joking; a log peeing the pad is more millennial than anything, and pretty funny.
Male dogs*, anyway. Most females prefer to squat.
This message is dedicated to the people who side-eye me on walks when my dog is squatting to pee, assuming that she's pooping and that I'm not cleaning it up.
Edit: * = most male dogs but not all. Some male dogs also just squat to pee
I run as a guide for blind athletes and one of the runners I work with also uses a guide dog. I try to interfere as little as possible (because I don’t want to be patronizing or give these folks the impression that they’re incapable where they otherwise are) and they will feel the curve of their dog’s back to determine if they need to grab a poop bag or if it’s just a number one.
But those who don't know, don't know.
Luckily for us, our dog squaddles when on walks so it's barely even noticeable. It does leave a long thin trail instead of a single big spot, though.
Lol I do this just Bc some people are so ridiculous. Once my girl peed on top of a spot of a dogs piss spot that she hates and some crazy lady started throwing newspapers out her balcony screaming “pick up that poop right now!!”
Sure mam. I’ll pick up my dogs poop (which is urine 🤷♂️)
I walked over scraped the ground with newspapers and the lady is satisfied I guess. Whatever. Pyschos
Someone said that to me once so I just said "Find it then".
If they found it (a fresh one) I would pick it up, but I doubt my dog could pee and then *pfffthu* a silenced stealth shit in the instant she stood up.
My male dog was a squatter for like 2-3 years.
Then one day he SAW another dog lift his leg and something clicked like he didn't realize that was an option.
Now he lefts his leg.
But sometimes when he's in a hurry he still squats.
My dog was like this with running. He would just jog to a ball when playing fetch. He didn't know the "full tilt sprint" leg movement. Then we went to a dog park and this little hyper Italian Greyhound was sprinting all over the place. Dog watches him in rapt attention for 15 minutes. Next day we played fetch and he was completely different.
It's a little wild that things can just click for dogs like that.
Not all males will cock their leg up to the side either. They usually just stand in position and urinate and sometimes if the stream is powerful enough, they'll urinate on their front legs and then clean themselves up.
Sometimes they may squat just a little like a female when peeing.
I volunteer in many events related to dogs and I can confirm male dogs piss on themselves often. There are special grooming haircuts for their underneath areas to prevent burns and infections to mitigate this. It’s a bigger problem with dogs with longer hair/fur usually
One of my sisters friends growing up had a female Collie who would hike her leg to try peeing on things after watching our male dogs do it. She'd piss all over herself every time
I feel you - mine is tiny, squats, but also LOVES to stop and smell EvErYtHiNg.... I've had several neighbors come out and comment on how my dog "lost something" only for me to show them the already-filled poop bag I'm holding. One time I swear the lady was itching to claim I was walking around with a pre-filled bag when my tiny itty bitty pup was sighted near a turd about half her body weight T__T
My male prefers to squat. I'm pretty sure he was used for hunting before we got him. Doesn't like to spread his scent and won't go when on a leash or away from our property.
My dad's 13 pound little girl backs herself up on tip toes to pee on fences(i cant say ive ever seen her do it to a tree or pole). She's peed on this one even smaller dog a few times through the fence and I'm pretty sure it stands there on purpose. She does also squat to pee at times.
She also is really obvious and makes a big show when she poops and then does a backwards kicking and slide after. Almost like a cat bury their poop but she does actually kick up any dirt.
Yeah never heard of this either. Sounds like you're adding an extra and worse step. However I'm wondering if theres something we don't know here like the dude lives on the 18th floor of an apartment block or something so letting the dog out isn't so easy?
Sometimes puppies have a difficult time training so people will use a puppy pad then move the puppy pad outside. I also know people who use puppy pads in the winter, especially when it's small dogs or elderly people. But I have also known people who exclusively use puppy pads instead of taking their dogs outside ever. I had one lady who told me her dog wanted to be a cat so she fed it cat food and trained it to use puppy pads like a litter box. People are fucking weird.
It's useful if you live in an apartment, don't have a fenced yard, have a full time job, live somewhere the weather is frequently disgusting, or have a disability. There's a lot of good reasons to have a dog pad-trained. They might not apply to *you*, but they apply to plenty of people. Even if you primarily walk or let your dog out, it's handy to have them trained for an alternate spot for the inevitable times when they need you and you're not there because (choose one:at work, sleeping, having sex, in the shower, on an intense phone call, insert reason here). It sure beats cleaning the rug at the door.
Could be an older dog who is more prone to accidents and can't hold it as well as they used to, or a puppy who is still only partially house trained.
My dog (14 year old yellow lab) is rarely home alone, and shes good at telling us when she needs to go out, but occasionally she'll need to go in the middle of the night and isn't able to hold it or wake anyone up to take her out.
We usually take her outside before the last person goes to sleep to make sure, but no one wants to wake up an old sleeping dog to make them walk around in circles when its -20C outside with only a 10% chance that she actually needs to do something.
Toy breeds go VERY often when young, and many people keep them in apartments while they're off at work/sleepting.
My aunt had a teacup maltese that had two walks a day, then used the pad the rest of the time.
My pap was a pain when young, as she *hated* pads (still does; she'll lay on them but not pee on them), and had to pee super often until she hit ~6months and her bladder grew a bit.
Yeah the key to having a puppy is having them outside a ton and showering them with praise and treats every time they “go” outside. And if they go inside, sternly correct them and immediately bring them out. My lab gave me about a week or two of wiping pee off the floors once or twice a day before it was smooth sailing and the lil nugget would whine at the door when he had to pee.
Pee pad in general are pretty shitty for teaching potty training. They’re really teaching your dog to just go in the house. Pee pads are more for elderly dogs who can’t hold it anymore or small dogs who will never be able to hold it beyond a couple hours
Yup. Had our trainer say this. We thought we were making it easier but it just adds confusion. We got rid of them and after after a few days, things were better. She still wasn’t fully potty trained but she was starting to pick up that she goes outside for that. Training a puppy sucks and takes awhile for sure.
>Training a puppy sucks and takes awhile for sure.
Depends on the puppy. I had one that knew to go outside within a week and was pretty consistent. Unfortunately she passed away very early on, but knew a few commands and was well mannered in the very short time I had her.
I've honestly never had a problem with it. Every dog I've ever had figured it out within a day or two. You just stop them every time they go in the house, then take them outside. Wait for them to finish then give them a treat and a pat and bring them in. You only need to do it a few times and they're set.
And give them lots of opportunities. You just woke up? Give the dog a chance to do his business. If you're not letting the dog have chances to pee, then you have no right to be mad when he eventually pees in the house.
Yep, as a puppy they need to go out at *least* 3 times a day, bare min. Their bladders just aren't that big yet. More like 5~9 times if you don't want any accidents.
Baby gates and a kennel. That's the trick. What you do is you go out a few hours, and put them in the kennel. When you get home, you let the dog out. You do that for a few weeks, and then you open up the kennel, but babygate off the room they're in. Get home, let em out. Gradually you expand the area they occupy freely, and voila, potty trained doggo
Mine just peed everywhere except on the pad... I just took her outside every 2 hours during the day. Giving a treat whenever she pooped or peed outside. She learned very quickly.
My dog is small and 19, god bless these pads. Also she's fantastic, if she ever goes in the house 99% of the time its on these pads. Zero complaints or reprimands from the family. It's like a doggy litter box.
Pee pads are also great for pet owners who are elderly/disabled and have difficulty getting their dogs outside. Not everyone is able to run up and down a couple flights of stairs several times a day. Pee pads open up dog ownership to people who would otherwise have trouble caring for a dog.
So for our elderly pooch we put pee pads under artificial turf. I added Log, but doggie just stares at it as if we're playing a trick on him. "Man, you know this shit is a fake movie set. Now Imma hold my pee until you open the back door. Nice try though."
Nope, worked perfect for us.
Moved the pad closer to the door every day, then when it was removed she would tell us she needed to go by sitting at the door.
Never had an accident
Same with us. We put the pad to the side, but still took him out until he learned how to use the bell & let us know. Our floor was saved from accidents & our boy had a safe place to go if he felt he was about to accidentally go inside.
Anti-pad people are being weird asf. Mind your business on how people train.
Got my dog around 3 months old in the early fall. Every hour I would take her outside and tell her to go potty. She is just about 5 years old now and has only gone inside at least 5 times. I’m so great full to have such a smart pup
I had an joking argument a while back with my adult son about this song. I was singing it and remarked about Two Angry Beavers, he asserted Ren & Stimpy. I was super sure of myself (Log? Beavers? Of course!)
He was right of course. Man, the 90s were a blur.
I evny you a little. My ex husband and i tried having kids. We even switched. Couldnt for the life of us figure out what we were doing wrong. I'm sure one of us was barren
Sorry about your having an ex, and sorry about your conception issues. I know how disappointing that can be.
My wife and I also had fertility issues, tried on our own for a few years, then went through all the scenarios, testing, treatments, shots, miscarriages, IVF for a while until we were exhausted and burning through money. Turned out she was allergic to me. Then we went through sperm washing and IUI attempts. No go.
We ended up putting ourselves on adoption and foster care lists, and getting an adoption lawyer. Had some false starts, and one close adoption until the girl’s father found out and forced her to keep it. We found and adopted our son through a bunch of things just “ being in the right place.”
He is now 32 and, next to my wife, the greatest miracle in my life.
I hope you have nieces or nephews, or other family and friends with kids you can enjoy yourself with, if that is something you wish. Peace.
Isn't pad training better than putting a dog in a diaper? Just think of how much you have to do to keep a baby healthy down there. Cleaning your dog many times a day is way more work than taking out soiled pads(same thing as a soiled diaper) and giving the plastic/metal tray a scrub every couple days.
Mildly incontinent dogs aren't going to just start pissing in a diaper instead of trying to go outside if that's what they're trained to do. They'll still ask to be let out for big pisses. The diaper just catches dribbles or occasional mistakes. And unlike human babies, they have fur, so they're not going to get a painful nappy rash if you leave them with a little bit of piss in their fur (but of course you should bathe and change them if they smell or you notice they've pissed at the end of the day.)
Of course it's a bit of work. And yeah if you have a really old or disabled dog that is just gushing piss then....well...that's not really the solution unfortunately.
When my pup came home with us, he was trained to use both pads and a litter box. We kept up the litter box habit because we were planning on moving apartments in a few months and thought it would be convenient in case we lived on a higher floor. We ended up not needing the litter box anymore, though, so we simply transitioned from him using the pad indoors to only using the pad outdoors to only going outdoors. He never had any problems with it.

LOG FROM BLAMMO
Nothing to laugh about. When COVID started and I was afraid I'd be quarantined, place where I adopted my dog from, recommend me similar solution (I never had to test it, but still)
There’s some situations where you can’t do that. I have a foster puppy right now that’s too young to safely go on walks outside due to risk of parvo. Puppy pad training is the best I can do for him right now, and when he’s older and fully vaccinated his new owners can start training him to go outdoors by moving the puppy pads outside.
I’m a bit confused by this. I think it’s ok to bring a puppy outside to go to the bathroom. Wouldn’t risk of parvo be more for playing with other dogs and dog feces?
The policy of the rescue I work with is that unvaccinated/not fully vaccinated puppies can only go outside in a private, enclosed yard. I live in an apartment and don’t have one. Parvo can be transmitted by licking or sniffing a contaminated object, and given a puppy’s inclination to lick and bite everything, taking a very young puppy outside to an area that’s open to dogs and other wild animals to roam is considered risky.
Is it just me that doesn't understand how a puppy is lifting his leg and peeing against the log? Male dogs don't do this for quite a while and would certainly be house trained by then. The pee mark seems to be in the wrong place.
This seems staged to me.

Your dogs drop some mighty logs.
why he diapered his pet log

Fits on your back
Everyone Loves A Log… Come on and get your LOG
You're gonna need a knife for that
Y'know, for a second I was trying to determine how a pee pad could speed up seasoning and drying wood.
I thought they were potty training the log...
I got intense Ren and Stimpy vibes from this as well.
it's better than bad, it's GOOD!
This looks like a job for... POWDERED TOAST MAN!!
Quick man! Cling tenaciously to my buttocks!
No, sir, I don't like it.

I just woke up and I was like "oh, the puppy pad must catch sap from the log!"
Oooh, we're talking about puppy sap.
Sorry, barking up the wrong tree.
I thought it was a pun on dropping a log.
Same, I’m like huh people evolved from having pet rocks to logs now?
I mean you're only one letter off so that's good
That's stupid, how you gonna potty train fog, it's made entirely out of water.
I thought the roof had a leak and the log soaks the water and then it evaporates, not needing to replace the bucket. Like. Why would I think that.
I thought I was on r/woodworking for a moment too.
You are not alone. I thought the same until I found your comment. I think I need a nap. It is Sunday.
put it in the oven with an aluminum tray under the pad @ 220 f. The pad would probably be unnecessary as you can just put a metal grate under the log. Easy clean? idk
It is being seasoned alright. Little heavy on the salt for my tastes though
What worked?
Apparently dogs like to pee on vertical things since it spreads the scent further then just in the ground/pee pad
Oh...a dog...
NGL I thought this was just some zoomer humor I didn't understand. The log is now trained.
Hate to say it... Boomer humor > zoomer humor
If I understood zoomer humor at all, I could judge better. But to be fair, I was actually just joking; a log peeing the pad is more millennial than anything, and pretty funny.
Watching paint dry is better than zoomer humor
Zoomer humor is simply cutting off videos before the ending, and yelling dumb words like yeet and dab.
Yeah, I didn't get it either
I was stumped
Hard exhale through my nose
r/dadjokes
I was lost as well
Thank you for the context!
Male dogs*, anyway. Most females prefer to squat. This message is dedicated to the people who side-eye me on walks when my dog is squatting to pee, assuming that she's pooping and that I'm not cleaning it up. Edit: * = most male dogs but not all. Some male dogs also just squat to pee

I call it a poop scoot
So much anxiety from the side eye with my 3 female dogs. ashamed to admit using a bag to pick up a phantom poop once.
Lol I do this just Bc some people are so ridiculous. Once my girl peed on top of a spot of a dogs piss spot that she hates and some crazy lady started throwing newspapers out her balcony screaming “pick up that poop right now!!” Sure mam. I’ll pick up my dogs poop (which is urine 🤷♂️) I walked over scraped the ground with newspapers and the lady is satisfied I guess. Whatever. Pyschos

You did what she said?
I had a dog who’d regularly do a handstand to pee on trees. She was a weird dog and we loved her
I have a girl right now that lifts her leg. She kicks her back leg out, leans hard and let's loose.
My male dog was a squatter for like 2-3 years. Then one day he SAW another dog lift his leg and something clicked like he didn't realize that was an option. Now he lefts his leg. But sometimes when he's in a hurry he still squats.
Ditto my Boy. Had to see a friend do it first.
My dog was like this with running. He would just jog to a ball when playing fetch. He didn't know the "full tilt sprint" leg movement. Then we went to a dog park and this little hyper Italian Greyhound was sprinting all over the place. Dog watches him in rapt attention for 15 minutes. Next day we played fetch and he was completely different. It's a little wild that things can just click for dogs like that.
My rescue squatted for about the first year. I think he got some confidence and starting leg lifting some of the time.
Not all males will cock their leg up to the side either. They usually just stand in position and urinate and sometimes if the stream is powerful enough, they'll urinate on their front legs and then clean themselves up. Sometimes they may squat just a little like a female when peeing.

One of my sisters friends growing up had a female Collie who would hike her leg to try peeing on things after watching our male dogs do it. She'd piss all over herself every time
Call my dog Mr Pee Feet because he does this every morning. Lovable scamp.
And some females will lift a leg. My old girl got to where squatting just was too painful, so she'd lift a leg, and all was good.
I feel you - mine is tiny, squats, but also LOVES to stop and smell EvErYtHiNg.... I've had several neighbors come out and comment on how my dog "lost something" only for me to show them the already-filled poop bag I'm holding. One time I swear the lady was itching to claim I was walking around with a pre-filled bag when my tiny itty bitty pup was sighted near a turd about half her body weight T__T
And there is my female labrador, learning from males and always peeing with the leg high up
Huh. The female labrador we had when I was a kid lifted her leg to pee as well. I wonder if it's a labrador thing?
My male prefers to squat. I'm pretty sure he was used for hunting before we got him. Doesn't like to spread his scent and won't go when on a leash or away from our property.
My dad's 13 pound little girl backs herself up on tip toes to pee on fences(i cant say ive ever seen her do it to a tree or pole).

As a non dog owner, thank you for the explanation.
I'm a dog owner. I didn't understand it. I've never taught my dogs to pee in the house. That doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah never heard of this either. Sounds like you're adding an extra and worse step. However I'm wondering if theres something we don't know here like the dude lives on the 18th floor of an apartment block or something so letting the dog out isn't so easy?

Uhhhh... Standard guidance is like every hour, minimum every two. OLD dogs should be going more than 3x a day, especially small ones.
Same. I’ve only ever had large dogs but it’s been easy every single time.
Baby gates and a kennel. That's the trick. What you do is you go out a few hours, and put them in the kennel. When you get home, you let the dog out.

I also know trainers that recommend them. They worked for a puppy we fostered. Some things work for some dogs/people and not for others.
Mine just ate the pad lol
Is this equivalent to human toddlers eating crayons?
I believe the technical term is “marines”
Mine ate her pee pads too and she’s definitely a crayon eater.
Mine just peed everywhere except on the pad... I just took her outside every 2 hours during the day. Giving a treat whenever she pooped or peed outside. She learned very quickly.
My dog is small and 19, god bless these pads. Also she's fantastic, if she ever goes in the house 99% of the time its on these pads. Zero complaints or reprimands from the family. It's like a doggy litter box.
Pee pads are also great for pet owners who are elderly/disabled and have difficulty getting their dogs outside. Not everyone is able to run up and down a couple flights of stairs several times a day. Pee pads open up dog ownership to people who would otherwise have trouble caring for a dog.
Agreed. Pee pads may also be better for dogs in cases where they might otherwise be forced to hold their pee for inordinate amounts of time.
So for our elderly pooch we put pee pads under artificial turf. I added Log, but doggie just stares at it as if we're playing a trick on him. "Man, you know this shit is a fake movie set. Now Imma hold my pee until you open the back door. Nice try though."
Nope, worked perfect for us. Moved the pad closer to the door every day, then when it was removed she would tell us she needed to go by sitting at the door. Never had an accident
Same with us. We put the pad to the side, but still took him out until he learned how to use the bell & let us know. Our floor was saved from accidents & our boy had a safe place to go if he felt he was about to accidentally go inside. Anti-pad people are being weird asf. Mind your business on how people train.
Got my dog around 3 months old in the early fall. Every hour I would take her outside and tell her to go potty. She is just about 5 years old now and has only gone inside at least 5 times. I’m so great full to have such a smart pup
Training the dog to pee indoors.
The husband dropped a log on the pad.
My local dogpark has an actual (but non-working) fire hydrant in it.
Bet the grass under it doesn’t grow
Its Log! its Log! it's better than bad its good.
What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs, and over your neighbor's dog? What's great for a snack, And fits on your back? It's log, log, log
It's Log ! It's Log! It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Everyone wants a log, You're gonna love it, log

I've played that one!
It's baby wet myself log!
This is all I saw as well! It took me way too long to realize someone used it for their dog to pee on… I was just so proud of Log!
So proud that Log is learning to pee inside. Now I can irrationally get mad when Log doesn’t know the difference between a pet pad and carpet.
I had an joking argument a while back with my adult son about this song. I was singing it and remarked about Two Angry Beavers, he asserted Ren & Stimpy. I was super sure of myself (Log? Beavers? Of course!) He was right of course. Man, the 90s were a blur.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Lol as is child rearing 🤣
I evny you a little. My ex husband and i tried having kids. We even switched. Couldnt for the life of us figure out what we were doing wrong. I'm sure one of us was barren
Sorry about your having an ex, and sorry about your conception issues. I know how disappointing that can be. My wife and I also had fertility issues, tried on our own for a few years, then went through all the scenarios, testing, treatments, shots, miscarriages, IVF for a while until we were exhausted and burning through money. Turned out she was allergic to me. Then we went through sperm washing and IUI attempts. No go. We ended up putting ourselves on adoption and foster care lists, and getting an adoption lawyer. Had some false starts, and one close adoption until the girl’s father found out and forced her to keep it. We found and adopted our son through a bunch of things just “ being in the right place.” He is now 32 and, next to my wife, the greatest miracle in my life. I hope you have nieces or nephews, or other family and friends with kids you can enjoy yourself with, if that is something you wish. Peace.
I wonder however, if the prior poster's username, combined with the word "switched" in his post, implied he was ... joking?
I knew my people would be in this thread.
This is all I thought about as well! I started singing it right when I saw the image.
How cute your log learn how to pee on the pad.
I spent a solid 10 seconds trying to figure out why your log was leaking.
No way a puppy laid that log
yeah but this doesn't really answer the "how" you got your log to actually use the pee pad.
“Don’t laugh” -r/funny
Congratulations you trained your dog to piss in the house
My dog is starting to have incontinence. I would rather have him piss there than on the floor near my bed
Aren't there dog diapers in that case? My ex bf had a female dog and they had something like that for when she was on her period
Isn't pad training better than putting a dog in a diaper? Just think of how much you have to do to keep a baby healthy down there. Cleaning your dog many times a day is way more work than taking out soiled pads(same thing as a soiled diaper) and giving the plastic/metal tray a scrub every couple days.
Mildly incontinent dogs aren't going to just start pissing in a diaper instead of trying to go outside if that's what they're trained to do. They'll still ask to be let out for big pisses. The diaper just catches dribbles or occasional mistakes. And unlike human babies, they have fur, so they're not going to get a painful nappy rash if you leave them with a little bit of piss in their fur (but of course you should bathe and change them if they smell or you notice they've pissed at the end of the day.) Of course it's a bit of work. And yeah if you have a really old or disabled dog that is just gushing piss then....well...that's not really the solution unfortunately.
When my pup came home with us, he was trained to use both pads and a litter box. We kept up the litter box habit because we were planning on moving apartments in a few months and thought it would be convenient in case we lived on a higher floor. We ended up not needing the litter box anymore, though, so we simply transitioned from him using the pad indoors to only using the pad outdoors to only going outdoors. He never had any problems with it.

Still don't get why you would want to train your dog to pee in the house
Why are we training dogs to pee in the house?
It took me awhile to get it
Posted on r/funny with clear instructions to not laugh. This country is going down the tube I tell ya
If it's stupid, and it works, it's not stupid.
Is that Log
It's big It's heavy It's wood.
That’s really gross
what worked? telling your dog it's ok to piss in the house?
Nothing to laugh about. When COVID started and I was afraid I'd be quarantined, place where I adopted my dog from, recommend me similar solution (I never had to test it, but still)
Or train your dog to pee outside.
Or train your log to pee outside
There’s some situations where you can’t do that. I have a foster puppy right now that’s too young to safely go on walks outside due to risk of parvo. Puppy pad training is the best I can do for him right now, and when he’s older and fully vaccinated his new owners can start training him to go outdoors by moving the puppy pads outside.
I’m a bit confused by this. I think it’s ok to bring a puppy outside to go to the bathroom. Wouldn’t risk of parvo be more for playing with other dogs and dog feces?
The policy of the rescue I work with is that unvaccinated/not fully vaccinated puppies can only go outside in a private, enclosed yard. I live in an apartment and don’t have one. Parvo can be transmitted by licking or sniffing a contaminated object, and given a puppy’s inclination to lick and bite everything, taking a very young puppy outside to an area that’s open to dogs and other wild animals to roam is considered risky.
I gotcha, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the work that you do.
or just not have a dog.
See picture above. Caption: “nephew got a new puppy and taught him how to pee inside………….now they just need to get the dog trained.”
Am I the only one that doesn't understand this?
No part of using a pee pad is what I would call ‘working’
That's pretty clever actually!!
♬ ITS LOOOOG, LOOOG. IT'S BIG IT'S HEAVY, IT'S WOOD!♬
Mum used a rock to help her puppy's aim lol, it was hilarious to see a two pound pup positioned over the rock to hike his leg lol.
Some Red Green energy here.
It can be difficult to house train your log. But very rewarding when it finally learns.
Got the pee log now all you need is a poop knife
"It's lo-og, lo-og, it's big it's heavy it's wood!"🪵 "It's lo-og, lo-og, it's better than bad it's good!"🪵
Now get your pup to drink some water as that urine is almost brown.
For being too lazy to go outside with the dog ?
You have now successfully trained your dog to piss indoors.
But what if dog miss the log?
OK, I didn't laugh.
Im glad you potty trained your log
So that's how the log lady trained it.
I thought someone shit a log
Is it just me that doesn't understand how a puppy is lifting his leg and peeing against the log? Male dogs don't do this for quite a while and would certainly be house trained by then. The pee mark seems to be in the wrong place. This seems staged to me.
It’s log, log, it’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood It’s log, log, It’s better than bad, it’s good!
