As soon as Gucci's vet said it was ok, we started walking him. Fortunately the timing was great - we went on vacation and Gucci was with me 24/7. I was able to walk him more often and he got the idea quickly. Now at 5 months he rarely if ever uses the pad in his playpen. He waits for his walks. I'm lucky as well because I work less than 2 miles away either my husband or my daughter can walk him at lunch if I can't get away. These pups are smarter than you think. You just have to learn what works best. In our case it was walking. When we et him run in the backyard, that's what he does. . . run!
