You can use puppy pads. If you are going to use them on a carpeted area, then I would definately get one of the puppy pad holders as the pads alone will leak (especially when they just barely make it on the pad). Walmart has the pad holders for pretty cheap, I think $15 or close to that. They fit the reasonably priced pads they have too. Especially as a pup, you are probably going to have to at least use puppy pads for part of his peeing and pooping. You can still get him used to timely walks. Take him at the same time all the time. They will eventually get their little bladders in time with your schedule. But at the beginning they sometimes go like every hour. I have used the puppy pads and am taking Annie outside every 2 hours. She does go everytime I take her out, but when I am asleep, or sometimes just busy, she has gone in the house. So, I am trying to get those trips to get to the pad. Not successful yet, but she has done it a few times (to which I have gone crazy with praise!). |
