My pups 5 mo old had them for 6 weeks. She is going on the pad better than he is - I got the potty training puppy apartment for him but I have her ex-pens separated so she has a potty area and a different play area - she goes thru a little gate. On his, I put the PTPA inside the ex-pen.
It takes a lot of time and I have sat with them for hours at a time and try to catch them to get them to go on pad and then have a party and give a treat when they do. You have to catch the action while they are making a mistake and put them on the pad. After they do the right thing you have within just a second to have a party and give a treat.
We also have one of those sound sleeper, so sometimes we turn it on low and let it be the waves, or the forest as background noise and that puts them right to sleep at night. |
