Another thought! The cedar chips will smell good but I don't think they're absorbant like a scoopable cat litter?

You could build something like this:

Plastic wading pool.

Cut a circle of hardware cloth (the one with the small holes, about 1/4") to fit the pool. Make two handles for it. If possible make side walls too.

Put scoopable litter in the bottom of the pool and then put the hardware cloth on top of it.

Then add the cedar chips on top of the hardware cloth.

This way the urine will go to the bottom of the pool and be absorbed by the litter.

The handles will make it easier to lift the section with the cedar to clean out the litter.

Again, I've never seen a large dog litter box trained but that doesn't mean it can't be done!...Any port in storm.
