I have a 4mon old Yorkie puppy who just loves to play! He's been much better about potty training in recent weeks and we are thankful for that! He truly thinks that just about everything is fun and exciting, which is normally just as much fun for us, with the exception of his pee-pee pad!
He's getting much better about
using the pad, but he also thinks its fun to lie on it, play with it, nap on it, eat on it, etc...
I've kept it as far away as I can from his food & sleeping area to create 2 very distinct and seperate areas. I've had to put weights on the corners to keep him from twisting it in knots when we are gone. I've made his sleeping area pretty cushy & inviting. I've tried to redirect him when I see him on it for something other than his "business" and reward him when he only uses it for the correct purpose.
So far, nothing has worked longer than the immediate moment. I know that he's rolling around on it when we are gone. He's been getting baths about every 2 days for weeks now, because he always smells of urine.
What can I do to help him learn that his pee pee pad isn't for play (or nap) time?
