| Belly bands Are belly bands useful for potty training? If so how do I go about it?

| I never used them, but I know a lot of people use them to stop the pup from marking their territory. It's suppose to work very well.

| I use belly bands on my two unaltered males, having 5 females in the house, they think it's their JOB to mark up the place. This really does help when I have girls in heat! I would think if you get your male neutered he will be better at not marking. |

| We use the belly bands. We got them from GO Fetch. Des did a great job making them. You use female sanitary pads for the inside lining. We take the bands off and take them to the potty area and tell them to go potty or try to get them to go???. When they are thru, we put the bands back on. The bands just help w/ preventing accidents IMO.

| They have their place.... I think they are great for preventing accidents and/or when they mark when a female is in season but just don't let it take the place of training them to go potty outside! I have to keep my little boys hair cut shorter when I use them so it doesn't get tangled in the velcro. I got mine on e-bay..... Just be careful and don't neglect the proper training just because he has a pad on, ya know?
