He really doesn't smell like pee at all. I keep him dry almost all the time. And, I wipe him off with a damp cloth whenever he pees. He has never had any sort of irritation at all. I have kept a close eye on that.
As far as peeing more in the evening - this is just obviously his schedule. He may be drinking more water. Also - he is more active in the evenings - playing with my other dog. They seem play the most at night (this may be what makes him drink more water.)
Nights - he sleeps 7 or 8 hours (sometimes more) every night without wetting.
And, he pees on his pee pad (most of the time) when he's confined to the kitchen while I work - four days a week.
I don't think peeing a dozen times during the day is too much for a pup - I'm sure I changed diapers on my babies twice that often.
But - after all is said and done -- this certainly is not the ideal situation - the weather is nicer - and we are going to start going outside a lot. He has never hesitated to pee outside.
Bellybands have certainly saved my house/carpet/etc....but we all know that being potty trained is what needs to be done.

Okay, I have been waiting for the 'washcloth" person to post. Will you please tell me how you fold them and fasten them. Thanks
