I was initially looking for ways to get my dog to start using the bathroom outside. Since he's only 7 months old, he was used to using puppy pads. The doggy lawn has really helped with his potty training. He pees outside now just fine, but on our lazy days, I open the patio door, he does his business, and we go back to relaxing. It's been a great experience. And I will continue to buy the doggy lawn for my own peace and for Arlo 🐾
