I do not understand why people say such things about puppy pad training. Puppy pads are a great aid in training a pup, especially small ones. The only time Gracie had a problem with the pads was when I decided to remove one. I had one in the bedroom and one by the patio door. When I removed the one in the bedroom she just went in the same spot she was accustomed to going. I had to put it back and ever so slowly move it toward the other one.
They are creatures of habit. Once they learn something, bad or good, it takes more training to change that in their minds.
If you train your pup correctly the first time you won't have a problem with the pads.
