hehe i was just browsing the posts and as i was reading this one, my little Tobey went potty on his pads! LOL i brought him home 2 days ago... and have been frusterated. always used pads with all my small dogs & i know it takes time, but he was showing no knowledge of the pad at all. Sorry, i was excited! you guys are good luck... treats have always worked for me, but each dog is different. so far he doesn't realize why he's getting one...
