I have only ever pad trained my dog. With my first dog, she trained easily and never had accidents. Her potty area was in the laundry room, right off the garage and across the hall from a small bathroom. I picked up and flushed the poop, and changed the pads regularly, and immediately put them in the garbage in the garage. It never smelled bad. That house was a large three story and no matter where Chelsea was in the house, she always knew to ho to her potty place in the laundry room. Eleven years and never any issues with the pads.
My current yorkie is also pad trained and took to it quickly. She always uses her pads at home. This house is much smaller than the last, so her pads are in the hallway between the bedrooms, right across from the bathroom. Same as before, i flush poop and change pads regularly, to minimize any smell. Visitors didnt see the pads at my last home, but they do at my lil house. I have pretty fabric washables, that i try to put down before guests come over, but in all honestly, I usually forget to put them out. ZoE will go on the pads just about anywhere. Ive put pads down at my parents house, my kids dorms/apartments, in hotel rooms, and even in the trunk of my car when traveling, and ZoE will go on them. I love that she's pad trained! Especially in winter!
