Why don't we just train dogs to use a litter box? ๐ค
Or a toilet? One of my previous cats used the toilet all on her own. If she could figure it out without help, surely training a dog should be easy enough.
I trained my dog on a litter box. She only pees in it. I'm very glad I did.
However, I'm fortunate enough to have a basement I could put it in where it's out of sight.
That's a thing and people.do, especially apartment dwellers. Dogs learn it quick too.
It's just no one would have an animal shit in a box in the house unless they absolutely had to.
Oh...
Cats leap and perch with more ease than dogs so you'd need a contraption that might get in your way.
Its a good idea, but from my understanding, you still have to take dogs on daily walks. Maybe not first thing in the morning, but at least once a day or so
