| Male yorkies and pee pads How do all of you that have male yorkies get them to pee on the pad...Brady lifts his leg sometimes and it goes every where. I have tried the bottle in the middle and it doesn't work. Help???

| Ben just pees on the pad, I have not done anything special to make him get it right. I don't use a bottle on it or anything. He will occasionally pee too close to the edge and it runs off a bit but no worry, I just clean it up. I do like the larger pads that Ryan sells: Puppy Pads - Puppy Training Pads - Puppy Pee Pads I think that may be what keeps him on the pad -- having a larger target. I tried to use the small ones and bought a LOT of them and the pad holder. Was not a good idea -- Ben would not pee on the pad if it was in the holder. I don't know what he didn't like about it, but he refused. He would hold it as long as possible and then pee next to it. So, right now I am using two at a time overlapped to be the same as the large pads Ryan sells, just to use up what I have, and no holder. I will order from Ryan again soon. If Ben doesn't want a pad holder and he will pee on the big pad, then that is what he will get. He gets what he wants for being a good boy!

| Maximo is a leg lifter, so I moved his piddle pad 6" away from the wall and anything that would encourage leg lifting. He does a sort of ballet move that is a squat with one foot raised. |

| We use pads and own a pee pad company. Our standard size pad fits in the Purina dog litter box and that is how we do it so that there are no misses as one of our male dogs lifts his leg.

| So with the box he will go in the box and go??? Maybe I should try that.... I have a girl that uses the pad too and she does really good.

| I am in the process of inventing a vertical peepad! Right now, I put it partially up against the wall, and one wrapped around the toilet.

| My male yorkie uses the small size pads and he does not always hit the middle. My solution was to go to the dollar store and buy a shower curtain liner. Cut it in half and then fold the half in half. Perfect size to have an edge around the pad. |

| I put Riley's pads in the Purina Second Nature Litter Box. I believe there are two sizes. I bought the largest one. Petco also sells blue litter boxes for dogs. I haven't had any problems. |

| Where is the pad located? What kind do you use? When Remy used pads (he now is 100% outside) he would lift his leg. I used people incontinence pads - the ones designed to go under your butt in a bed. They were HUGE. The size allowed me to fold it so part was on the floor, part was up the wall. His was located in my bathroom doorway, so the pad was on the ground across the threshold and then "propped up" against the door jam. He would lift his leg in the doorway and happily pee away and I never had a mess |

| pee pads Belle is really good about her pee pad but sometimes I wonder about her. She kind of squats but then also lifts her leg, really strange. Sometimes we go through the stage that she thinks if her front feet are on the pad that counts and she should get a treat...not! I bought some larger washable pads and place them under the pee pad, what she doesn't get on the pee pad goes on the washable one so it works pretty well. |

| I have a client, w/a male yorkie that hikes...she has a plastic tub, about the size of a puddle pad (it's a few inches tall)...The container has a lid, so she stands it up against the back of the container, and the lid leans against the wall...He hops in, and hikes against the puddle pad attached to the lid, and his sister, squats on the pad...hope this helps... |

YorkieTalk Newbie! | I dont really like pee pads, their a waste of money and their not really "enviromentally friendly" My puppy is using newspaper and he dosen't even lift his leg. Personally I would be leaning more towards getting your pooch to go outside getting him off to a good start not training him to pee and poop indoors. I'm finding it hard at the moment with the snow but today i set the timer on the stove for 10 mintutes and he went poop outside! I really want in the end for my thomas to go outside not spend his life pooping and peeing indoors. |
