My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Pee Pad Holder issues? Has anyone had a problem when switching to a pee pad holder with their dogs not using the pee pad? I just got my holder yesterday, and they won't pee on the pad now!!! Brodie pee'd on the floor 3 ft away from it! |

| Put a used pad on it. Or go turn a pad upside down on the spot he just made and put it on it!

| I expected more of a problem than we had. I got a holder that holds almost 2 pads. I also added a plastic under bed 4" high box that I put 2 pads in. The holder is in the bedroom, the box is in the livingroom. (eventually I hope to only have one, in the bedroom). Abbey uses them both. What is strange is she will use mostly one at a time. One day it will be the holder in the bedroom and the next it will be the box in the living room. I change the pads every night, so she starts each day fresh. Don't quite understand the message she is giving me. Also, some days she will only poop on one and only pee on the other. I guess she has a plan LOL |

| Funny you should mention this right now! I bought a doggie litter pan yesterday...the wee-wee pad fits inside with the sides of the pan covered also. I figured Jo could lift his leg on the side and Riley could squat in the middle of the pad. Well, Riley refuses to use it...he will potty a foot or so away from it and Jo thinks anything with sides is a bed so he lays in it on the clean wee-wee pad. My2boyz...go figure I guess I'll have to go back to the pad on the floor if they can't get the hang of it...so there's $20 down the drain! |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Yeah I thought about getting the litter pans and using them with a wee pad. But I thought I'd try the holder first. Meiah laid in the middle of the holder too and chewed her bone! |

| I even tried putting a 'spot' on the clean pad in the pan but I gave up today. I put the pad back on the floor and I'll let him use it a couple times, then put it in the pan again...I hope he gets the hang of it...we don't have the doggie door in yet and the pads make it easier when they have to be home alone. |
