I know a lot of people think it is easier with the pads because they are down on the floor and the dog just pees and you don't have to go out with them. But from experience I can tell you I spent more time, on my hands and knees wiping up pee dribble, rolling up and disposing of yucky newspapers (which I used) sanitizing the litter box the paper was kept in and so forth, then I spend taking Lola out. Also I think because my dog had access to the pad he went a lot more and never seemed to learn bladder control, but he was a male and now I have a female so maybe males just go more. if you do use the pads, I would remove throw rugs, like others have said they seem to confuse them with potty pads
