When we were living in Arizona, we rarely walked the dogs because we had a huge backyard. They played together outside and got lots of exercise. Since we moved to PA, we don't have a fenced yard, so we have to take the dogs out on leashes every couple hours so they can do their "business."
We've had a lot of problems with Chloe. She has been pottying in the house, and then she will go 4-5 days without pooping, and then she'll go again in the house. I tried calling our dog trainer, I tried punishing her in the crate, I tried staying out in the yard with her for long periods of time, I tried treats. Nothing worked. She would just look around and come sit next to me and stare at bushes looking for rabbits.
Well, since joining Weight Watchers, I've been walking every day. And every day, Chloe has been going potty on our walks. I think she's just one of those dogs that needs some exercise in order to get things moving. So, every day, we walk about 2 miles, and she doesn't usually potty until the end of the walk, so she forces me to do the whole trail. What a blessing. I love her!

*And while I was trying to get a picture of Chloe, I noticed my cat Buddy, aka: "The Budster" crawled up on a pillow, so I had to share the cuteness.*
