Me again - I am glad that summer is coming and it is getting warmer outside...because my puppy will go readily outside - if he has to. I have another dog - and if that dog pees - my pup will pee also.
If I put him in the laundry room first thing in the morning before he has gone to the bathroom and leave him in there for 10 or 15 minutes - he will use the potty pad. And, when I'm at work and leave him confined in the kitchen, he will use the potty pad.
It's just when he's running around the house - and I'm not watching him that he will pee anywhere he wants (but is wearing a belly band - so no damage is done). So this is the time - I need to be more diligent.
Again - warmer weather will be a real welcome - so that we can go outside more.
Interestingly - his wearing a belly band does not, in itself, keep him from using the potty pad. I have seen him use the potty pad before with the belly band on. And once he got outside with his belly band on and lifted his leg and pee'd on a shrub.
