We have two out for Emma to use whenever she wants. One is in our bedroom, near her pen, and the other is in the guest bathroom-both centrally located in our condo. We have two, just in case someone is over and in the bathroom, or if our bedroom door gets closed-she always has a place to go.
When she was younger, we'd keep one in the room with her, and as she got more reliable, we moved it closer and closer to the final pad place-where we wanted them to stay.
She was difficult to train until she was 14 weeks or so. Then she just GOT it. We feel she's pretty reliable, but we still have the occasional accident, even though she's just about 7 months old.
Hang in there-just be consistent, and remind them every so often where the pads are with your "word". They'll get it! |
