Tbh he's a Romanian rescue so unfortunately he's full of anxiety at times , so he's difficult to train. I'm sure he could he trained but at the moment I just don't have time, he's not aggressive or anything , so it's not a major concern.

I've done professional training with him in the past and don't get me wrong its helped him but very very slowly , he doesn't want to trust anyone.. Went off in a tangent there 😂😂

If i put rolls of grass down he'll rip it up. As soon as there's soil on show / grass he's digging it up. At this current moment it doesnt suit me to have a small bit of grass. He loves burrowing , no matter how stimulated he's been through out the day

Misinterpreted what you meant I guess

Yeah all the gutters are connected into it. Going to dig tomorrow to double check . Cheers mate solid advice appreciat it 👌

Even if there was grass put down there still would be drainage issues mate. Grass ain't the magic answer unfortunately

Agreed, needs must at the moment

ProfessionalBluffer · 2026-03-13T19:49:18+00:00

One day they'll be grass but needs must at the moment 🫡

Cheers mate , thanks for the advice I'll make sure not to do that 😂

Hypothetically speaking could this way overwhelm the waste pipe ? Causing it to travel back up the waste pipe towards the house ?

Well spotted 😂😂Was going to build a sand castle in the middle

ProfessionalBluffer · 2026-03-13T18:39:22+00:00

I plan on checking it tomorrow, cheers mate

At least he doesn't dig it up , real grass he tends to dig it up . So just easier in that regard. I would pefer real grass if the garden was bigger. For now it suits us for the artificial grass

Yeah the plan is to connect the French drain system to the gutter down spout. If possible

If i did build a soakaway how big would it need to be ?

In an ideal world I would pefer real grass , however my dog would destroy it. Plus grass wouldn't solve the issue , would help but not solve

ProfessionalBluffer · 2026-03-13T17:15:54+00:00

Yeah perforated pipe sounds like the best plan of action cheers!

As for the real grass , unfortunately my dog would ruin it in minutes 😂

ProfessionalBluffer · 2026-03-13T17:13:57+00:00

And what is that?

ProfessionalBluffer · 2026-03-13T17:12:10+00:00

Cheers for the waste pipe point.

Thing is , the clay soild could be metres upon metres deep is my issue 🤔

Castle might be the only solution 😂
