Thanks! I am going to try to get Thor on the pee pads in addition to going outside. My main reason for doing this is that I noticed that when we played indoors, he would invariably pee after a minute or two, even if he had just been out. Sometimes he would just blatantly lift his leg, but other times, he'd lean forward for literally 1/2 second and squeeze out a drop. It wasn't always easy to tell if he'd peed.
I thought maybe he didn't want to stop having fun to get leashed up and taken outside, so I thought maybe a pee pad would give him a place for a quick pit stop.
THEN I realized that even though he goes outside, he was still marking indoors. He never poops indoors, but he is free with his pee.
Ideally I would like to train him both ways. He is always very prompt on walks, and relieves himself within five minutes of being outside, so I don't want to undo that. The pee pad option would be good for travelling, though. |
