I wish I did! Dunkin (10-11 months) was always an outside pottier — well, at least that was the goal. But it's just too cold for him, and even when we do get him outside, he just runs for the door, so we have been trying to get him to go on pee pads (eventually would like to put the pads in a litter pan.) We started with about 5 arranged in a square, and this gave him some room for error.

Now we are down to three pads. Some days he does really well, and we give him lost of praise when we see him going on the pads. Other days are just out of control. He acts like a 13-week-old puppy sometimes, dribbling pee everywhere.

We tried putting a little pan in the middle of the pads, but then he just started peeing on the outside of it. I think we won't go back to putting the litter pan down until we are down to one pad, and we'll probably keep a pad in the litter pan for a while.

Good luck!
