Hey everyone,
Ok so I know pretty much everyone uses pee pads but when I used them, I found it did long term damage to our "outside" training. Dooie got so used to peeing on the pads that he wouldn't go outside, he'd just hold it and the second he came in, he'd go on the pad.
I didn't like this because I'd have to have a pad in the house on the floor out in the open. A used pee pad does not look pretty. Not to mention they can smell too. And it's a little awkward when Dooie went pee infront of company.
The other annoying things, was during his "pee pad" phase, if ever I left a towel or a shirt or even a sock for that matter on the floor, he would pee on it.
How gross. He even lifted his leg on the bed at the pillows.
It was almost like he thought everything was a pee pad. We had to work so hard for so long to finally get Dooie going outside ONLY. Once we took the pads away completely, we had our eyes on Dooie non-stop, otherwise he would pee on the carpet. So frustrating!!
I don't know anyone else who went through that much of an ordeal while pee pad training, but even so, I did and for that reason, I'm really against Pads.
