My new puppy who is 12 weeks old named Reesie is on pads right now. I've only had him for a week and he goes pee on the pad 80% of the time and poops on 100%. I am transitioning him to outdoors (just started yesterday-and he is following older brothers suit) as I eventually want him outdoor trained b/c pottying inside grosses me out. He either pooped/peed outside or on the pad yesterday, amazing. So males on the pad CAN BE DONE
Good luck!!!!
