Honestly, I'm not a fan of the pads so I'm a bad person to answer that. Loki will pace, squat and waddle 10 feet back and forth before he will poop and he will never pee in the same spot and he always likes to sniff around first. He would never use a pad correctly. I've also been told by professionals that they can confuse the pad with the carpet. Some will only pee on a pad once, some will poop *near* the pad, etc. Others seem to be fine with it. If you are going to housetrain I would suggest you start right away, since the idea is that the dog is supposed to see the house as his "bed" or "home" and learn that it is appropriate to potty outside. If you teach them it is OK to go in the house and then suddenly it's not, it might not work as well. Get a tiny sweater or coat? |
