Pixie Pees on the pad about 80% of the time... Now the other 20% she is so close to the pad, like a foot touching it or right next to it.... I call that a win too! The fact that she heads for the area of the pad is a big step! She does not have roam of the house so I am not risking the nice new carpet and placing her in a situation where she is surely going to fail... She has limited space... In her X-Pen is: Crate, food, small play area a pee pad and her food and water dishes... She will not pee in her crate.. she will not pee near her food and water, and if she pees in her play area.... she has to play in it, which she does not like so she has only the pee pad left... I have set her up to win! She almost can't fail! Its great! I will slowly give her more space and thus increse her chance to fail in hopes that she will not... If I do this slowly enough and she continues to pee on the pad she will become very trustworthy and eventually be given run of the whole room.... Note: NOT THE WHOLE HOUSE! Only the whole room.
As for getting her ON THE PAD 100% of the time.... I am thinking that a shallow litter pan or a frame might help "contain" the mishaps... I will have to play around and see what works... Now the poop.... 90% of the time the circling starts on the pad and the butt ends up an inch off the pad.... ugh! that Poo-Poo Dance!
