And remember, you won't likely be able to use ANY rugs in your house if you pad train bc they view rugs as "pee pads" too. |
It's interesting to hear you say that, at first I thought it was just my dog who would pee on the throw rugs, but my sister's dog does it and just about any small dog that has come in my home that is pad trained goes on one of the throw rugs. I finally took all of my kitchen rugs up and replaced them with the foam kind, but I still needed throw rugs other places so it was frustrating. I am not sure if this is true by a retired vet in my neighborhood said it's just not natural for dogs to go indoors on a pad so you will always have problems.
