| Is it too late???? I have two 5 month old pups. Right now we are on a schedule and they go potty outside. We have a huge backyard so its the easiest, however when theyre outside their crates and loose in the house under supervision they STILL manage to have accidents. Even after they have gone potty 15 minutes before. I know theyre still in training stage so Im wondering if I should buy wee wee pads to use in my room (ie favorite pee pee spot) Will the pads confuse them? I want them to still pee outside but I just dont want to clean up every hour behind them. Do you think they are to old to learn to pee on the wee wee pads? I need help I am going through clorox wipes like crazy!!! |

| Do clorox wipe contain ammonia? Has there been any ammonia where they mess up? I think ammonia attracts dogs to go pee. It's all I can think of. I've never used pads so I can't help you on that. Good luck,

| That potty patch is amazing!!! Well I live outside the US so I am going to purchase some wee wee pads meanwhile the patch gets in. Do you use the potty patch? Was it easy as they say to keep clean? Should I get the larger one since its two of them? |

| It is great I don't think you need the larger size. I have two and the regular size is perfect. I hose the grass down (really well) and let dry in the sun. It should last a long, long time. I do put wee wee pads under the grass though to collect the pee. There are different brands: www.doggiepotty.com or on ebay: dog potty, great deals on Pet Supplies, Art on eBay! |

Don't worry. Clorox wipes contain BLEACH not AMONIA (which is found in Windex). Never use amonia on pee. Pee contains amonia and will just attract them and they will pee there again. But Clorox/bleach should be fine. Does it bleach the colour out of your carpet? Honestly, I use spray SHOUT (the stain remover) and then I follow it with a mixture of vinegar and water. I find I have the best results with that and it doesn't take the colour out of my carpet. | |

| Hey, I have a 5 month old she hates outside unless she is desperate but she will use the pads 100% and a 15 week old, he likes to go outside but will use the pads if I don't get him out on time. The pads are great if I am not at home for a while. I get them at Walmart, they are 100 for $25.00. I use Natures Miracle for odors andit works great. You can use it on floors or carpet. I get it at Petsmart. Good Luck
