So, last week I asked questions about taking our dog out vs. pee pads. I said my husband wanted the dog to go outside only, I was ok with the pee pads if he can not go out. I also said I didn't like myself or my girls taking Spike out at night because of the "wildlife" around here. Well, last night, after the girls argued about who was to take him out, my husband went. 30 seconds later he came running back in. They (he and Spike) were 4 feet away from an 800lb bear digging through our garbage!! Scared him half to death. Well, Spikey went in his pen with a pee pad
He uses his pee pad all the time now when in his pen. During the day, I crate him and take him out every 2hrs. When he "goes", he gets 20min or so of free time. He is always right behind me waiting for treat when we come in. It is so cute to see him looking at us, waiting for his praise WHILE he is peeing. No accidents on the floor since Friday
My question is this, do you think he would use the pee pad if it was out of the pen, like while he was running around the living room with us at night? He looks in the pen when he is playing, but I don't know if he wants a toy or the pad. I have to get bells for the door...
Thanks for listening.
