I am fully convinced that the problem is the wee wee pads. I have never had a problem with housebreaking the way that I have with my two. I knew better than to have wee wee pads in the house but did it because one of my pups was trained to go on them....HUGE MISTAKE. I'm sure that if I had done without the wee wee pads the problem wouldn't be in existence today. I spoke to my trainer and she also feels the same way about wee wee pads. Dogs should never be able to go to the bathroom indoors, it just confuses them. If they're never able to go indoors the message is clear and less accidents. I am so afraid of getting rid of them though! A part of me feels like it saves my floor most of the time but then again I think it may be causing the accidents some of the time. I'm pregnant too so I need to make a power move soon...just scared to...
