I am trying to invent something that gives him more of a border guideline. He also starts going poo on his pad but spins around so much that he begins to wander off of it just as things fall to the floor. So in this case, "things" are not exactly ON the pad but just a few inches off.
Oh, Meeko will be 2 on the 24th of this month. |
I'm not sure I can be much of a help on the hiking of the leg part (because I have a little girl) but I have seen pictures where people have put a potty pad around something standing up like a paper towel holder and put that on the pad so they will aim for that. It may also help to put a belly band on your boys that like to mark.
With pooing off the pad, you could put the pad in a container so they know when they're off of it cause they would have to literally step out. We use a washing machine tray and tape down paper in it (she was already used to going on paper so I figured why change that?). Below is a picture if that helps. (Haha! I caught her going! She's looking at me like "Ahem, can I get some privacy here?)
