Hi, I am new here! And I need a little help. I have a 9 month old teacup yorkie who was trained to go potty on the wee wee pad. In the beginning it was hard because when I would keep him gated in one room as soon as I would step over the gate he would go on the floor. I took away the gate and he never missed the pad again. He won that battle.

My new issue is after 6 months on always going on the pad I just recently got a couple area rugs in the apartment. How can I get him to stop going on them. Sometimes he goes on the pad ( when he does he is rewarded) ... most times on the rugs. I am afraid that if I try gating him again it is only going to make it worse. He has already made it very clear he is very spiteful when he wants to be. I tried spraying bitter apple and that did not work at all... Any help would be great!
