The backyard in our old house has a small patio, a lawn and a few fruit trees. Dog-Hsiao-B was not allowed to go potty on the patio, but she was free to go anywhere else. (The fruit trees thus bear awesome high quality organic fruit!) Now in the new house, the backyard has a swimming pool, a koi pond and no lawn. There is only very limited space for Dog-Hsiao-B to go potty. She's very confused and has accidents all the time.

Try as hard as we may, Dog-Hsiao-B hasn't learned it yet. We've even asked a dog trainer to come and give advices. According to the trainer, Dog-Hsiao-B was used to go almost everywhere she pleases for the past 2.5 years. It will take a while before we can successfully train her. So far, I'm still scrubbing the cement in the backyard every day, and praying everyday that she'll learn where to potty very quickly!
