You have to realize that pee pad trained in one place does not mean pee pad trained in another.
Giving a puppy the run of the house is just asking for trouble. Mine are confined to the kitchen unless they are being closely supervised, like me sitting on the floor playing with them or them sitting on my lap.
Now to the training. Like I said mine are confined to the kitchen, I started by putting the pads where they wanted to pee. I had 5 pads in the kitchen at one time. I did not move them until they were using the pads 100% of the time. (or going outside). Then one by one I started eliminating them. I would slowly move them, if they went back to that spot and peed on the floor, I put one of their beds in that area.
I found that once I moved one, they would quit using it and go to the other spots. Eventually I got them all removed except the one by the back door. I now place that one in a shallow, under the bed, storage box, so they don't pee off the edge of it. Between using the box and going outdoors, we rarely have a mishap.
I still do not trust them to run freely through the house. They are 6 months and 4 1/2 months. |
