I agree that a "potty command" word is the best idea. Mine get very excited when they hear "outside" and I use the command word when we are outside also. Then at night before bed if it's very late I will take them over to the pee pad and say the word and they know to pee right away. It takes some persistence But they catch on quickly. My older boy always pee'd right on the edge of the pad. Drove me nuts bc it always got on the floor. Luckily mine is in the kitchen which is tiled. You could also put a tarp down on the carpet and put the pad on top of that to prevent your carpet being ruined. |
