I found the best way to make the transition was using his morning need to pee and poo to teach him where he is suppose to go.
Tazz sleeps on the bed and can't get off, so he waits til I wake up to let him off so he can do his business. When I first started, I put him in a pen with a pee pad right when I woke up and he would go pee and poo there since he probably had too. He eventually learned to go on the pads.
I did the same thing when transitioning him to go potty outside. I would bring him outside right when I woke up. At first he just wouldn't poop outside no matter what, but eventually he did in the morning. Praise him a lot afterwards and he will get the hang of it. Just gotta get him to go that first time! |
