We bought one of those Turf things and he's pooped on that a couple times but doesn't seem to want to urinate on it or hasn't yet. It would make things much easier if he would start urinating on it because we live on the third floor with no elevator thank you. Koda Bear

My experience with house breaking puppies. As puppies they were confined to a small area, pee pad at one end, bed at another end, food between the two and toys. When I came home from work the puppy had free roam of 3 rooms of the house, doors closed to bedrooms and bathroom. When the puppy pooped or peed some where other then the pee pad I picked up the poo, put it on the pad, got the puppy placed her on the pad and told her, "poo poo on the pad" when she peed I took the pad, absorbed the pee from the floor, put the pad back where it belonged, got the puppy placed her on the pad with the pee and told her "pee pee on the pad. 4 yorkies throughout a period of 12 years were trained this way, when they were 5 months old they were 100% pad trained, they also had all their shots ,then I started to house break them , feed same time every day, walked in the morning (7:30AM) and when I came home from work (4:30) walked again, everyday, even if they had already made on the paid I took them out anyway. Dogs are creatures of habit, once you start something with them, they expect it all the time, they have little alarm clocks built in them lol, they will learn what times they go out to potty. By 7 mos old they were 100% house broken with no accidents and had free roam of the house. This is what worked for me and ALL my puppies.
