It will give him more room to roam, and a target to aim at when he piddles. I tape my pup's piddle pad (3 year old) to the wal (a third of the pad) He never misses anymore. When he does, it's honestly human error.
It's that or your pen is rather small for all you have in it. |
No he doesn't lift his leg (yet). I am thinking that it's option B. The playpen is too big. He's actually in a baby pack n play right now. His real xpen is bigger and should have a little more room. The good news is that he is using the pad to pee at night so maybe it is working after all!

Good luck with your news addition. |
I am home too. It just seemed like a good idea to have a plan B for him if I missed the cues. So far he has not used the pad for that purpose. If I don't catch it in time, he just goes wherever. We are only on Day 2 at home though so I'm not too discouraged!
