Hey everyone! I'm struggling a bit with my backyard situation. It's entirely covered in cement, and that's not great for my dog's potty needs. Right now, I have fake grass down, but I want to make a designated potty area that helps minimize odors. Since I'm renting, I can't dig up the concrete. I was thinking of marking off a section and covering it with something like pea gravel, mulch, or bark. Any suggestions for what would work best?

You could also just buy a sandbox! It’s super easy, especially if you don’t have the tools to build something. You can line it and fill it just like others mentioned. Check out local stores for some options!
One option is to build a wooden box, say about 4 feet by 12 inches high. Line it with plastic to hold soil, then fill it with dirt and put some grass on top. That could create a nice potty spot for your dog!
Thanks for the suggestion! I really like this idea.
Just a heads up though, grass can be tricky since dog's pee can kill it. You might want to consider clover; it's hardier and doesn't need cutting.
I can't believe I didn't think of that! Such a smart idea!
