If the diapers will help train her NOT to pee while wearing them, then that's great. If they simply catch her pee, then not so good.
Anyone use them? If so, I'd love to hear your experiences. |
In my experience and my friends experience, diapers do help a little with training because no dog wants to pee on itself so while wearing a diaper they are less likey to go potty and learn to hold it. This also gives you a little control for when they go. Becasue as soon as we would take the diaper off we would take our dog outside and say "potty outside" and give them a treat for going. This has helped them to learn that. But the main purpose of diapers(in my opinion) is for when a dog goes into heat and to keep a dog from pottying in a house when you can not keep an eye on them. I sell diapers and I have several customers that have dogs with seizures and they like to use diapers. I used to keep diapers on chloe only at night because she slept with us and I didnt want her to pee in the bed and she was very good about not pottying all night long so now she no longer wears them. And she would also wear a diaper when she went to my mom's house when she wasnt potty trained so then I didnt have to worry about my mom flipping out about an accident.
