it's all a part of being a puppy. one day of pads does not mean they are fully trained. Peppermint will use the pads consistantly for weeks then one day decide that she doesn't want to use them at all and goes everywhere but the pads. there is no rhyme or reason behind it...i have logged everything going on in our days, what she has eatten, walks, etc and there is no pattern. somedays the carpet is just where she wants to go. she is lucky she is the cutest thing on the planet or there would be trouble
i stopped stressing over it and bought a steam cleaner.
i am going to try one of those fake grass pads at some point to see if that keeps her more consistent. i have successfully trained sooo many dogs to be potty trained and this tiny little 2.5 pound dog is the one that broke me. lol
