Playing with his pee pad So, my little Barnaby has taken to playing with his pee pad. Guess I should fasten it down, somehow! Any ideas on how to inhibit his desire to play with it though? Thanks! |
If you find out let me know.....Diggy thinks they are practice pads....like you practice KILLING with them!!! |
I bought washable pee pads from Little Bit (a YT member) and they are awesome. The disposables worked okay until my two learned how to shred them :rolleyes: Now they just do their business on them, or occasionally lay on them :rolleyes: but no playing with them. They also save you quite a bit of money! Good luck! |
i have a hard plastic shoe mat/tray, and i clip the pee pad down on both sides using binder clips. it works really well cuz the pee doesn't soak through to the floor and the tray is too big to play with :) |
I have had to tape them to the floor because Ringo LOVES to drag them around and play with them. The first time I did it though he growled at them for like 5 minutes after trying to get them to move :D |

Thanks for your kind words KimluvsLexie and Missashlee28! They are less likely to be chewed on and shredded, but I must admit I did have one puppy that somehow got part of it turned over and chewed a hole in the back! :eek: But that was the only time that happened. |

I got a really good case for teh pad from petsmart thats a tray with a clip to hold all the edges down, and its worked great! (25$) |
Well the other day I left the house for a couple hours and left zoey in the bathroom. I placed a pee pad, food, water, and toy there w/ her. /then when I got home I walked in and I couldnt find the pee pad anywhere! I thoguht he must have played w/ it and pushed it under somewhere or idk. Then i looked in this bag and there was a pee pad and i was so confused? I thought maybe someone put it in there but i odnt think anyone was home. I guess somehow he played w/ it and got it in this tote/bag. lol:) |
There is a pee pad company that makes puppy pads with adhesive strips on the back so you can just peel the paper off and stick them to I guess anything except carpet. When my Pookie started dragging them all over the house I took them away. Now without the pads, he just holds it until he can go outside. Those things were just enabling him to pee inside! |
The best thing that worked for Abby was a tray I got at Petsmart. It was kind of expensive, but it works great and fastens the pad in place. She can't shred it that way - you might want to try it. |
My pee pads have sticky strips on the back so they don't move. I used to buy the ones without the sticky because they were cheaper, but he would drag them and move them. Since I got the sticky ones he hasn't done that again. |
I have both the washable pad from Lil Bit and the plastic holder for the pads. It seems to do the trick on both. |
They usually resort to tearing the pads up if they are bored and don't have enough time outside or going for walks or have some nice beef femur bones to chew on. ;) |
pee pad holder in petsmart or Wizdog works hello, you can try to use a Pee pad holder so your puppy can't play with it. In petsmart there are two different type one cost around $15 and other one cost $30 (like a tray). I got both, but i realized i spent a lot of money for pee pad and the weather is too cold for my puppy. So i spent $50 for dogwiz and use newspaper instead. It saved alot of money. But hehee...my puppy need to learn how to walk her wizdog. At first she was very scared but now she is fine. |
Washable Pee Pads I'm getting a 9 month old next Friday and the breeder says he does really well with the pads. I was hoping to also get him to go outside as well so that I didn't have to use the pads as much. My question is how many of the washable ones should I buy from Blue Sky Yorkies? |
They have pad holders or trays at PetSmart, but I have never tried them. I put a pad in a doggy litter box. The pads I use have adhesive strips, and they stick really well to it. I don't have any problems, and it's very easy to keep clean. |
I had changed brands and Cash did his best to destroy them. I went back to the more expensive ones and he leaves them alone... He is not called Cash for nothing:yelrotflm |
I got the plastic tray holder from petsmart and it works great no leaks and it makes sure that Faith doesn't pee on the edge and miss with the lip on the tray she knows to step all the way on the pad. |
I have the same problem with my yorkie, she loves to drag them around the house right before she rips them up. |
My dogs don't play with it, but the cat does! Sometimes I get to the pad and it's strewn all over the place - folded up on itself as if the cat is trying to BURY the goods for the dogs! I try to pick up after them asap, but if he beats me to it, pads are flying! |
Pee pads Our pups tend to shred the pee pads as well. Why they think they taste good I have no idea! I get washable pads now. Hospital pads work great, but I also use the little receiving blankets that you can get in a four pack at target. I make some thicker using absorbent material and sew the edges with an overlock stitch. They come out soft and wash easily in the washing machine. (separate from family clothing of course:p) The pups don't shred them and I don't have a big mess to clean up! Carie |

It depends on how often you want to wash. With only one dog the pad could stay down maybe two days or so before you would need to wash it (barring any bad accidents). So if you got four pads you could probably get by with washing once a week and still have one down while you were washing. I have three girls using one pad and I change it every day, so I need at least eight. |
