Just thought I would share our experience (so far).
We had a Bichon for many years. She was trained (
before PITA) to go indoors and outdoors. It took a while - but, once she learned - it lasted the rest of her life. She is now in heaven.
Its been a few years and the wife was ready for another friend - so, we decided on a Yorkie (male). Charlie is now 16 weeks old and only 2.2 lbs.
Did a lot of research and decided on a Puppy Apartment. So far (
all of 5 days) Charlie is having a 90% success rate on using the pads.
The other 10% is just outside the Puppy Apartment. Yea, we are working on that - keeping a close watch.
Our only problem is Charlie (every 3rd or 4th time) leaves his butt on his sleeping blanket and his front legs on the pad. Guess what that means?
Can't get upset - Charlie has the right idea just needs to work on his execution.
Anyway - just joined the forum and have learned a lot. Will update this thread as time goes by...
