I use pee pads for Belle. I had to get a holder and that helped. I put down a sheet of newspaper over the pad and she pees on that. Saves alot of pads as I just change the paper. If the paper is wet, she won't pee on it, she just stands and looks at me. Oh, we have a seperate pad and paper in the den, that's for pooping, musn't use the same one. Just kind of spoiled
