Only thing we have work on right now is getting her to use the pee pad. The first day we brought her home, she was ok... but now she seems to love peeing on carpets.
So, last night we took away every carpet in the house, thinking that she would understand to use the pee pad. But this morning she did it on the floor.
Any advise any one? I have ordered and exercice pen and will try placing pee pads in the exercice pen everywhere and taking one out after a few days and keep removing them all until she goes only on one pee pad.
Has anyone tried that? Is this the right way to do it?
We have two cats, 2 year old Lacey and 1 year old Angel. They of course use the litter and Bailey seems to want to go in the cat litter. I don't think it's a good thing for her to get use to going there.
Anyways, thanks for having this great website where I can get information on making my little baby girl's experience at home with us the best I can offer her. |
This has always worked well for me....I send my babies home to new owners pee pad trained, and this is exactly how I do it...there is no "right" way or "wrong" way! These little buggers can be sooooo stubborn....I LOVE that about them!!! Battle of wills!!!! But my little ones walk around on pee pads in the bottom of their exercise pens from 4 weeks old until they leave here at 12-14 weeks....and when they are allowed to run in a small enclosed place, having essentially been "raised" on pee pads, they will gravitate to the pee pads because that is what they know!
