Well, the All-Important Step One has been achieved. It has been “christened”! Hard plastic kiddie pool and throw some toys in. Get Mr to pee in the yards corners, thereby officially designating it as family territory. 🐾 🐶
A while back I adopted a Corgi. He was very mellow and peaceful until one day we were in traffic and an ambulance went by. He howled like crazy until it was far down the road. To this day nothing else will make him "sing", not even my other dogs howling have any effect! Just sirens.
