i had a friend whose Siberian would not go on the grass either. We finally figured out that her breeder had a paved exercise area, so this puppy would only go on the driveway! But back to WInter: put her on a leash and take her outside to her designated spot. Do not walk around! Just stand there and repeat "go outside" or a similar phrase. If she starts to dig or eat grass, give her a correction and repeat "go outside." If she is just sniffing, encourage her with a "go outside" as dogs usually sniff an area before they go. As soon as she starts to go, repeat "go outside" and praise "good dog!" as she goes. When she is finished, bring her directly back inside. If she does not go after a reasonable amount of time, bring her in but do not remove the leash. Attach it to your belt loop and keep her with you. Don’t let her out of your sight! When you see her start to circle or sniff, take her right outdoors again and repeat the process. If she does mess in the house, do not scold her unless

If you are worried it is becoming too hot outdoors for Eva to go, then yes, you can certainly placed some artificial grass in the crate with her. Just ensure you can easily remove the grass and clean the crate easily. I would recommend placing some absorbent pads underneath the grass so that the urine is soaked up and does not pool in her crate. I hope this is the answer you were looking for! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I think an underground fence or an electric fence that has a home base (see link below) might be the best solution. Petsafe is a good company who makes these products. It shouldn’t scare her further away but it should keep her inside the boundaries. I would keep the level on low to keep her from becoming scared to go in the yard. This is the safest thing to prevent her from getting out and either getting lost or injured. There is also a GPS tracking device for the collar called whistle that you can use to keep up with her if she still gets out. I hope this helps. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petsafe-wireless-instant-fence-pet-containment-system?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o3&scid=scplp692131&sc_intid=692131&cm_mmc=PLA-GG-_-PTC_P_SUP_PLA-GG_FY17_SCShopping-Mobile-_-Non+VIP-_-92700026257943398&kwid=p26257943398&device=m&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjtH4nPzz1wIVh4WzCh05bAl_EAQYAyABEgJ1sfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

No, these supplements can contain ingredients that are not safe for dogs, and really have no proven efficacy. Urine burns on the law from Rufus's urine could be caused by a poor quality diet. Try feeding him a high quality diet that contains higher quality and more digestible proteins such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, or Purina ProPlan. You can also try to make his urine more dilute by increasing his water intake by feeding him canned food or soaking his dry food with water.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this frustrating problem. One of the biggest issues here is that it is a "multi-factoral" problem, and sometimes the solution also has more than one part-- rather than just 1 product that will solve the problem. *Usually lawn burns from urine are caused by excess nitrogen. Nitrogen is a byproduct of protein breakdown, and so dogs on a high protein diet are more likely to have urine that results in "burning" grass. A high quality, moderate protein diet would be a good choice and may help if your not already feeding something like that. At her age and breed (a 1 and 1/2 yr old german shepherd) she does not need more than 27% protein, and as low as 22% is fine if she's very active; if she is not leading a "sporting dog" lifestyle (long runs with you, etc-- 60+ minutes of exercise a day) even as low as 18% is fine. *If the yard is fertilized, it may already have a significant amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer.
