If I had a fenced in yard, I would choose outdoor only. But, I live in an apartment and puppy pads work best for me at night or when I'm gone longer than usual. When my work hours changed during a project that had me working 12 hours a day for two weeks, I worried what to do about Lacey. I ended up purchasing an IRIS pen and IRIS XL Pads that fit the pen perfect. Now Lacey goes through the little door of the pen and uses the pads. It works great. The pen keeps her from missing the pad and she can no longer drag the pad around he house. Lacey never uses my rugs. The only time in the last year she has made a mistake is when she had an upset stomach and left me a present right in front of the toilet. That probably would not have happened if I had not shared my roast beef and gravy with her. Learned a lesson from that. |
