Diapers and belly bands don't help train -- but they do help keep your pup from doing any damage in the house.
My little boy wears belly bands a lot and always had. But - I am taking him outside every hour and a half to two hours. And, with my doing this, he does 90% of his peeing outside - and almost never pees inside anymore.
The other morning, he ran out with his belly band on - lifted his leg - and pee'd on a bush. He doesn't even seem to know he's wearing it.
I can say -- from my experience - that his wearing a belly band has not kept him from becoming trained - nor has it made training any more difficult. All, it does is catch most of his pee when he pees in the house...which is becoming less and less often.
I am having much better success taking my pup outside. He has never been good about using his potty pad - and now, he has starting to tear it apart (it's a toy!).
So - we wear belly bands here - and my method of training is to take my pup outside often. (I am so glad summer is here - so much nicer going outside ---for me!)
Good luck! Carol Jean |
