Here are the answers to your other questions: I have a large folding xpen . They each have a side with their own mat and bedding (before they ea had a crate on each end) the pee pad is in the middle along with separate dog dishes and 1 water dish. Currently it is left unlocked because I don't have carpet so they can run and play. I just clean up pee mistakes when I get home
When I try to separate them for anything they whine and cry and want to be together. Now- Flash to tomorrow- I'm moving. the new apt is carpeted.
If I go the old xpen route - Tomorrow I will need to go to Home Depot and buy plywood for under the xpen, then cover it with linoleum on top so if they don’t pee on the pad it doesn’t get on the carpet. Once we get the xpen under floor done its pretty permanent and can’t be moved from place to place. And, it takes up a lot of space in my living room/dining room, So I wish I did not have to use it. I like the idea of personal space.
Yes, I had a pee pad holder. Don’t use it any more because I had to change the pads so often and pee would be on the sides and the ends and I had to constantly clean it. It’s not that the alpha dog misses the pee pad (I could understand that) its more that she just disregards it and pees in the hall or in front on the xpen at the door or just wherever. They don’t seem to play in the pee or even step in it. When I get home its usually dry on the floor. if there are 2 different pee areas and leave the door open I think the alpha dog will pee on both.
Boy do I feel guilty!!! |
here's a link to the expen when I had the crates in there
