buddy of mine also has a bassett hound...his is 14 (who thinks he is 4...) but he is moving into a new home that is all hardword floors.
The dog isn't '100% house trained' and he is terrified of soaked new floors..(his solution has been there is a spot in the kitchen that is 'okay' to pee...an he simply mops/etc...)
but at 14 can you teach an old dog new tricks? he has considered putting up a 'child gate' to keep the dog in the tiled areas (kitchen,etc) when he is at work but being a bassett...there will be massive howling...(our 2 bassetts have been known to duet on occasion....funny but not to new neighbors).
I have no idea for this guy...
suggestions?
