Pepper is both pee-pad and outside trained. Husband and I work full time and we never tried to make Pepper hold for the 8 hours we're not home. He goes whenever he wants but he usually sleeps during day anyway... I use disposable pads, the landlord won't let us put a washer in the apartment and I can't keep a load of dirty pads around till the weekend when we go do the laundry. In Kmart, the pads are around $ 14 (pack of 50) - I usually put one clean one in the AM and switch again after coming home from work in the evening, so it's not that bad. The pad is in the kitchen and you can easily see the prints around the pad (light tiles, too). I mop the floor once or twice a week, but also wipe around the whole pad area daily with windex... |
