This is a great idea for me. My Eury is a little over 3 months old. When she's in her x-pen she is perfectly trained to use the pee pad. When she's out, she's about 25% trained. Also initially when we take her out it can take 30 minutes for her to finally use the pee pad so the above idea sounds like it will help with that.

I do have a question though. When she is out and about playing with us, what is the best way to train her to pee on the pee pad? When we see her squat should we take her immediately to the pee pad with a firm NO? I ask because she tends to "piddle", meaning when she's playing she squats and pees a tiny bit and every time I catch I say a firm "NO" and take her to the pad, but at that point she's done pee-ing. This method is semi-working.
