Congratulations on Gabby's pee pee success on the pad!! I think that's excellent for her age. Do you reward/praise her when she goes on the pad? We found that since they are so anxious to please us that if we would "celebrate" when Toto went pee on the pad that she would "get it" when we celebrated her going poop there also .... it worked!!! We quickly found that she didn't like going on a pad if there was a single pee spot and it got pretty expensive using so many pads each day. I tried cutting a pad into 4 equal squares and just covering the spot .... worked like a charm!!! The poop, I just flush! Toto is 2 1/2 yrs. now and just the smartest little girl we have ever seen ... she is eager to learn and lack of training is our fault, not hers!!

BTW .... even if the poop is "near" the pad, we still celebrate the effort! She has the really long hair & sometimes it hangs on & doesn't drop until she has walked away from the pad!!
