| Litter box location Hello! My 5 month old yorkie/maltese puppy is litter box trained and I see that there are many others here doing the same thing. Just wondering where do you keep your litter box? Right now Lucky's litter box is in my living room, simply for convenience since this is where we spend the most time when we're home, but I want to move it out of here ASAP now that he's trained. Ideally, I'd like to move it to my laundry room in my basement, but I'm worried he won't be able to make it downstairs in time. Where do you keep your litter box? Any suggestions? I have a 3 story house (bedrooms are on the top floor). |

| First of all, you can only move it a couple inches at a time so as to not confuse the pup. Second, if you are going to do that you may want to consider getting a second box and put it on the 3rd floor for him/her. Just make sure that there is always access and they can do the steps first.

| there are 3 floors in my house as well, and i actually have a pee pad on each floor for milu. i started doing that when i was training her, because i wanted her to have access to it no matter which floor we were on. now she seems to think that she is used to having that. even if i remove the pee pad, she will still go where the pee pad should be. i don't think it's a big deal to have 3 pee pads in the house. but if you don't like having that many litter boxes, then you can slowly move the litter box to the location you want. (but it will also depend on your pup, milu has favorite locations for going #2, she likes to go on the top floor, because we are rarely there, so she doesn't want us to see her when she is going #2) good luck!
