| POTTY PATCH!!!!! gotta read So I finally got my potty patch that I ordered weeks ago, in time for the family vaca. My mom, sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew and their dog, came to Orlando to visit me and go to Disney. It was a blast... ok now... Well after many failed attempts with the dogs to use the potty patch, I was enamored when I heard the trickling sound of pee pee in the bathroom hitting the potty patch. But what do you know ... it was my 5 year old nephew who decided it would be funny to "pee pee in the grass" ... needless to say ... he has been the one and only to use the potty patch. Any suggestions on how to get my dogs to use this nifty invention?! |

| Well I'm using it at square one with puppies and it works very well. The grass mat is at one end of the crate and the bed it as the other with food and toys inbetween. But I'm assuming yours are already pad trained? So it might be more challenging unless you go back to the crate training method. Maybe you could try using that spray that is used to attract them? Or try putting a pad on top of the potty patch and then make the pad smaller and smaller in size until it's gone and they will be used to going on the grass? PS that's too funny about your nephew! |

My Lil Man! Donating Member | If your babies are pee pad trained you can try placing the pee pad on the potty patch and everytime they go praise them lots! Then eventually dont use a pee pad and maybe they will continue to go there and be using the potty patch. |
