First off a puppy that young, especially a toy dog, won't be fully potty trained for months. It's like trying to potty train a 1 year old. They don't have the control until they reach a certain level of maturity. In fact, I read it takes on average until they are 1 year old to be fully potty trained. Finally, after a year we can now pretty much count on our fur baby to let us know when she has to use her pee pad (which, because of the sanitation issue is on our deck outside the back slider).
We have finally figured out that our little girl will not go poo on a pee pad that has been used more than a day (depends on how much they pee of course but a puppy is a pee machine). So we have to change the pee pad every day and a half or so. Actually, dogs prefer not to go in any area that is heavily soiled with their waste. So you might try either separate pads, or change the pad more often if you aren't already.
One other thing which isn't directly related to your question, but worth a mention, we found that the edges of the pee pad directly on the floor was not detectable enough for our dog, and worse, when she peed close to the edge, it would leak under the pad. So we bought one of those plastic pee pad holders. Ours is thicker molded plastic with snap down edges about 2 inches wide, and about 1 inch high so the dog can really sense it is not just part of the floor. |
