Default Housebreaking an older dog

sigh... do I have to reexplain everything when I post something that
actually WORKED for me as well as others????

I'm not talking out of my ass here but it WORKED FOR ME...

now, if you want to try it, try it... if you don't , then don't... but it
worked for me.... my waist also included back issues and some weight issues
which would have been more dangerous for me than using my ankle... its not a
big deal...

and I had complete control... and I also used a 6 foot soft leash as a
tether... my house isn't that large to accomidate much else... same with in
public...

if that helps at all to your understanding of the situation...

That's not the unsafest thing I've ever heard of but it's
pretty freakin' unsafe. Aside from questions of control and
balance around the house, if you do it when you're out in
public you make the outcome of someone becoming between you
and the dog a lot more questionable.
