I've never used a pee pad with Smokie. We always take him outside, and when he does his bs outside, he knows he is getting a treat when he comes in. When he needs to go out, he will bug me something fierce until I pay attention. He is about a year old, and was mostly housebroke when we got him. He did have a couple times of pooping and peeing on the kitchen floor - and I got onto him, told him he was a bad boy. (Glad though it was on the linoleum easy to clean) but since then no accidents. He always has food and water in his bowl, so I don't limit that, yet he will let you know without a doubt when he needs to go out. So I am just curious why use the pee pads instead of training them to go outside? Is it because of where you live? Maybe you don't have an outdoor area? Maybe you are disabled and unable to walk your dog? I can't even imagine letting him use a litter box. Mom has a cat and that litter box is bad enough. Please don't take this wrong. I am in no way judging anyone, I am just very curious why? Thanks for taking the time to help me understand why you would let a dog use the bathroom in the house. Education is always a good thing.
