Besides bad weather, pad training is so handy if they have to be confined because of an injury or surgery.
I make sure Lady pottys both outside and on her pads everyday so she knows to do both. |
Sounds like a great idea to teach them both but doesn't that confuse them because they are wondering which should they should do?
