Why I Created the Doggy Bathroom
In February 2016, I adopted an 11 week old male Italian greyhound and named him Sterling O’Brien. Upon Sterling’s arrival to his new home, he was immediately drawn to the p*e pad I had set up for him on the floor. As a little pup, Sterling would squat when he needed to p*e. The p*e pad was our only potty option for Sterling since he was adopted the middle of a cold winter and he was too small to go outside. Sterling faithfully used his p*e pad with very few accidents. As he quickly got older and grew, Sterling eventually developed a natural instinct to lift his leg. Since we live in a condo, going up and down the elevator several times per day was not an ideal scenario. We purchased a crate and put down a p*e pad in it for Sterling to use.
All was going well until a few months later when he started to lift his leg. Every time Sterling would use his p*e pad to p*e, I would have to mop the floor around the area and clean the crate as well as Sterling himself. As a curvaceous Italian Greyhound, if Sterling did not fully extend his leg, he would p*e all over himself - specifically on his chest. This is not because he was not able to fully lift his leg, it was because he understood that he needed to p*e on the pad, which was laid flat on the floor for him.
Spring came along and we started to go outside where Sterling could happily lift his leg and do his doggy business. He would lift his leg as high as he could, turn his head back towards me and make sure I could see that he was able to p*e properly without wetting himself.
This eventually led to a change in his behaviour. Sterling was fully aware that he was continuously failing every time he used his p*e pad inside because I would have to wipe him down with a damp cloth after every use. Sterling would always rush to lick himself clean to save me from having to clean up his mess. I could tell that he was bothered and it broke my heart. Since I bring Sterling to work with me every day, and we live busy lives, it was not always possible for me to bring Sterling outside several times per day, especially as a puppy while potty training. For this reason, I had no other option but to leave a pad out for him in a designated area, both at home and at the office. But - I figured there must be a better solution to this problem - I mean, what do people with small dogs do?
September came around and Sterling turned 9 months old. Finally on one crisp morning, Sterling went on strike. He absolutely refused to budge off the doorstep of our building. I will never forget that morning. The weather had dropped to about 12 degrees celsius and he began to shake as he was not use to this ‘crisp’ autumn air. He refused to move. Tried as I might, this dog was not going anywhere but back inside. Puzzled, I asked myself “What the heck am I going to do in January?”
Like many before me, I turned to Google for a solution. After what seemed to be a series of endless failed attempts, I refused to accept that there were no indoor solutions for small male breeds who lift their legs. I read tones of articles, blogs and forums. I spoke to some friends who shamefully admitted laying p*e pads down in their shower. I was disgusted and refused to consider this as an option. Outraged by my lack of findings, I realized I was probably in a good place (as an Interior Designer) to design a bathroom for Sterling and all male Italian Greyhounds like him.
Why didn't I just train him to ask to go outside? Because Italian Greyhounds notoriously hate the cold and simply refuse to move if they are put out in cooler temperature. I knew we had to figure something out for the upcoming winter season. The Italian Greyhound Club of Canada states on their website. “However, it must be noted that even then if the weather turns bad, some dogs will find a corner or bathmat to use.’’
