Oh, I forgot to mention that you have to feed and water them on a schedule so that you know when to let them out to do business. It depends on the age of the dog on how often you feed them.

We would keep her in her crate for about 20 minutes after she eats and that way when we let her out we can watch her for about 20 - 30 minutes closely to make sure she went on her pad. She was a bugger the first week, we never could figure out when she would go, but she started going within 20 - 30 minutes after eating and drinking eventually.

We feed Penny, almost 8 months old, twice a day. We put up the water dish around 7:30pm so that she will be on "empty" at 11pm and sleep through the night. We let her out around 7am and after she runs around the room like lightening for about 3 minutes, she goes and does business.
