We decided to place solar garden lights as markers to help guide them out to their potty area and back in again. Single solar lights followed the outline of the fence to the area they frequented to do their business. We then placed double lights (side-by-side in sets of two) to mark the path that would return them back to the house to come in. They quickly found their way at night by following the lighted paths!
The solar garden lights helped relieve their anxiety about navigating the fenced yard at night! The lights are found at most stores that sell garden equipment and push easily into the ground on a stake. They sure made a difference for our older sight impaired dogs!

That is a great idea for older dogs. Now if I could just find a way for the light to stay in the ground. I have an older dog and a younger one. The younger one takes the lights out of the ground and carries them around.

What an excellent idea. We have a senior dog & an electrically challed porch light that never works so this is just what I need. Thank you so much!

Great idea that I will use for Kato. He's almost 12 and has some cataracts. Thank you!

Thank you for the excellent idea and to Cricketnc for the shopping suggestion. I have a 14 year old yellow lab who is really struggling with nighttime potty time. I'm trying this right away.

What a great idea! I also have one dog that is getting up in age. I think I'll start this year teaching her this so that if her eyesight does fail she'll already know about it.
By the way, Wal Mart has some great ones that come 8 to a box for $20. I've had these along my driveway and the front of the house now for about 3 months and I love them. They also have some that are $4 each, but when you figure $4 x 8 lights, the box works out much cheaper,
