Gunther gets better and better at going to his box when we're in the same room too. I know it can take a long time. I bought a Rubbermaid under-the-bed storage box because its bigger. I think he thinks he is taking a walk when he jumps in
Right now I line it with wee wee pads and I spray a bit of training spray. The box and his crate are in a pen. He's learning that he can't leave the pen to play on the floor with his 2 brothers unless he poops in the box. When he does we have such a celebration that my other 2 dogs give him praise and congrats too! Very cute.
Anyway, the problem with the pads is that they get soiled so easily. He's much more likely to have an "accident" if the pads aren't new.
I need recommendations about litter and how to switch to litter? Is it better than the pads? I've seen all kinds, made from recycled paper, wheat, etc.
Suggestions? Thanks so much!!
