If you are going to be away for long, pads are the only way to go. I took Joey outside first thing in the morning, and last thing at night. During the night he was placed on a pad in the bathroom one or two times, when he cried to be left out of the crate. We take him for walks, and I think he might even prefer going outside, but the pads are his staple, and I don't have to worry about him ever having to hold it too long. Pads are a great connivance. We switched to washable, and love these even more. |
