I agree with you...any dog even a 4 yr old can be potty trained with consistency...and it shouldn't stop even when they do start using the pads all the time..continue to praise and treat forever...thats where alot of people make their mistakes, they think their pup is potty trained so they stop praising and treating and the next thing you know the pup is pottying in the house again, looking for that attention they use to get.
Your son might consider a play yard its like a xpen but it has a floor in and a zip up top so they can't climb out...there is room for a bed/water/food on one end and potty pads on the other while he is at work...you can order them online...I got mine off ebay...they come in alot of different sizes and colors....I love mine and so do my pups...I can't offer much help on pad training cause my babies go outside...Good luck!
This is the play yard I was talking about. |
