can someone please explain the method to teach them? |
This is how I did it, I am no expert...but it worked for me!
First you have to have one designated area to put the pee pads....at first use 4-5 spread out in the space....put the pup on the pads many,many times during the day and said "go Potty" and each time the pup pees or poops give lots of praise and say "good potty" and gave a treat immediately....do this each and everytime.....soon as pup starts to catch on....start removing the pads until you are down to only one....
If pup makes a mistake and you see pup do it....pick pup up...say wrong and put pup on the pad and say "potty here", then let it go...( If pup makes a mistake and you find it later.....just ignore the mistake...clean it up and hope for less accidents
I use the ones from Pet Smart (come in a box of 100) and I have never had a problem with tearing or leaking....
Good luck
