to the temptation of peepads...sigh...
Maddie has always been outside trained, and we have a fenced-in yard. The two new girls do pretty well with it too. Sophie, however, started out doing awesome when she was 3 months old...and now had done a complete 180 and has accidents all the time.
I brought out a washable peepad that I used to have for Maddie when I first got her, and put it down. Sophie immediately went to it and started peeing, and all the others followed. She still has poop accidents (even though I take her out every 2 hours) on the carpet...but I'm sure that will get better with time. I think I'll have to use the washable ones, because they would probably have a field day tearing up the disposable ones. So, for those of you who use washable ones, where do you get yours?
Also, has anyone had experience training a dog that goes outside to potty to use a peepad AS well as still go outside sometimes? I want them to enjoy the yard...because it was built for them, but I would love to be able to do what I need to do in the house without worrying constantly about accidents. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
