It took about 2 weeks and it was very emotional because he wanted to do the right thing and go outside. I had to barricade him in the back hall covered in piddle pads and tell him over and over that is was okay. We really needed him to be pad trained. When he finally pooped, I threw a party and showed him how happy I was. From that day on, he could do it.
My boys still prefer to go outside, but they can use the pad when necessary.
Go for it Ann. |
We had the same issue. Kaji would much rather potty outside, and will ask to be let out when we are visiting in other people's homes. At our apt, going outside just isn't possible. He was 17 months old when I switched him to piddle pads only. I did something simar to Kristin's method. Kaji kept his exact same schedule, but instead of being let out, I took him to the piddle pads. He was praised immensely when he went on the pad. It took 2-3 weeks, and now he's super reliable. Is his pad is soiled, or my mom moved it, he will go get a human to put a pad downfor him.
