I transitioned my puppy to washable pee pads in one day. She is about 5 months old, and throughout the day I keep her in her play-pen. I just put the washable pee pad over the disposable one in the usual spot (in the playpen) and watched the dog very closely. As soon as she peed on the pad, I praised her a lot and gave her a treat. The next day I just used washable pee pads.
She did pee on my rug in the bathroom twice but my puppy is not fully potty trained yet. So that might be the reason. But she has been very good with carpeted flooring in the rest of my apartment.
I wash and dry pee pads with my regular detergent and drier sheets.
My question is where does everyone store their used pads until the next wash? I am trying to store them in the closet container but when I open this container it has extremely strong urine scent. |
