Like I said, the lawn was put down when I was in EU. Kind of pissed me off, but I understood. Pissed me off because when I am home the dog is rarely outside and when I am away he is never outside.
Surprisingly, the lawn looked pretty good. I was betting that he was done with his hole digging, and his having a week alone with it was a scary idea. But it turned out there was just one patch, and he wasn't digging, he was lifting the grass up. I put it back in place, the best I could.
Gardner noticed, brought back a new patch, dog lifted it again. This time I was there and saw it happen, so I was able to put it into his head that this was not going to fly. As a reinforcement, I took some of his shit and set it on that patch.
Ever since then has he not only stopped pulling up the grass, but he decided to shit over on the side of the house away from the lawn. He also pisses on the trees, fence or decorative rocks. I have never seen him pee on the lawn.
