Ian is 1.5 years old and is very house-broken. We would like him to use potty pads as well, in case he has to go when we're not home. He will sometimes use a pad downstairs to urinate, but refuses to use the pads upstairs where he is when we're at work. He won't poop on either, so time is of the essence to get home.
We have put a used pad under a new pad to get him to potty on it, but that doesn't work.
Do you think using a reusable cloth pad will work? This winter has been a nightmare for going potty outside because of the snow and ice. I would like him to have an option.
Thanks
