At first, the entire ex-pen floor was covered in the potty pads I intended to continue to use after potty training. When I noticed puppy was peeing only on one side (away from sleep area) I removed the potty pads from the sleep area. Puppy continued to use potty pads on opposite side. As my dogs got older they each became very trustworthy and would always seek out the pad to pee or poop. Easy Peasy! This is not to say there weren't accidents, of course we had accidents...I would just watch more closely for a few days so I could remind puppy of pad and praise like crazy for "good potty!" |
Glad you posted this story, so much like Joey and where I placed his pad in his playpen. He just seemed to train himself, and I'm a firm believer in "Keep it Simple!"
