| Moving his potty pad Ok, here's the deal. My yorkie is doing great with potty training but I have had him in an ex. pen since bringing him home a month ago. I want to allow him more freedom in the room he is in (family room) but I am worried that it may be too soon and it may confuse him about where to go. My question is how do I take his pad from the expen to the floor? Again he does great in his pen, but when he is out (about 30 min. every 2 hrs. until bedtime) if I dont keep a keen eye on him he will easily stop playing and squat on the floor without looking or smelling for his pad. Do you think its too soon for this? |

| I moved Gypsy's pee pad a few times here in the house....only a couple of feet a day though until you get it to where you want it. Good luck.

Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | From everything that I have read...when moving potty area one must not move it no more than 10 feet away...because they will lose track of scent... And the key to housebreaking is consistency...you can gradually expand his freedom but not to drastic because it may be a little to soon to give him run of the house.

| Thanks for responding, can I move the pen and put the pad in the spot on the floor where it was located at in the pen? |

| I can't see why not. You'll have to keep an eye on him for awhile and make sure that he is aware where the pad is. It helps to just keep putting them on the pad every so often to remind them where it is....and praise praise praise.
