We use the pee pads because we live on the top floor of an apartment, in a city, where it takes a good 10 minutes to walk to any type of grass--we don't even have a balcony UGHHH (I hate it and can't wait for a house!)

Lillie is 4 months and it took her maybe 1 whole week to learn to use the pee pad (we've had her for about a month and a half). At first, my fiance was against them and kind of got upset that I wanted to use the pee pads until he realized Lillies' schedule of waking up at 5am to go pee! HAHA. It's a lot easier to let her go to her pee pad than to have her hold it for another 15 mins. Basically, we only use these in the morning and before bed. During the day we do take her out frequently, however, she's crate trained when we are at work (I come home everyday on lunch to take her out and for a walk).

So, in all fairness, the pee pads are a great way to not really 'housetrain' your puppy/dog, but to keep them from going on the floor and to a dedicated spot if you live a gazillion miles away from any grass. HAHA!
