playing with the potty pad!! grrrr

[jdonica]

I baught a pad holder from PetSmart that was only about 5 bucks. It is just a metal rod fram with foam corners. The foam corners have slits that allow you insert just the 4 corners of the pad. It has worked well for us. You might want to try one of these.

I've used this one without problems, even my grandyorkie didn't tear it up and he can destroy about anything

Love the washable pads for this reason; he doesn't play with them.

Mine used to play with their puppy pads but I think they grew out of it

I had a similar problem with my 5 month old pup Max. He was okay when we were around but if we left him to go out for a couple of hours in his exercise pen we would come back to a mess. There would be pieces of his pee pad torn to bits and thrown all over his pen. I was upset but at the same time I couldn't stop laughing because he had bits of pee pad hanging off his mouth, chin & ears. However it became less funny after 8 times of trying to clean it up.

I started to look up dog litter boxes. The two that caught my attention was Pet Loo and Ugodog. The problem I found with the Pet Loo was it was very expensive and they used artificial turf which can get messy and difficult to clean up after they poo. I settled on the Ugodog when was cheap and easy to clean. The good things is you can use newspaper to line the tray then it is covered by two plastic racks with holes. This allows the dog pee to drain to the newspapers and prevent the dog from tearing up the newspaper. So far it has been very good. Plus I save from not having to purchase anymore pee pads.

hi, i just looked up UGODOG and it looks very promising! my puppy is still used to the scent of the puppy pads i've been using but i think once he is fully trained this will be a wonderful solution!!! he loves going on the grates in the city so i think he'll pick up on this. i could just spray the simple solution spray on the newspaper!

thanks!!

Hi Ted E Bear. Yes I am very happy with Ugodog and it didn't cost me an arm and leg like Pet Loo. What I did to get my Max used to his new toilet was when I first brought home the Ugodog I waited until he peed on his regular pee pad. I then set up the Ugodog with the newspaper and wiped the soiled pee pad on to the newpaper. I then put the plastic Ugodog covers on and Max had no problem going pee on there. I had to do this only once. Therefore I didn't need to buy any sprays to attract him to the Ugodog. After that I would just change the newpaper every night and wipe down the Ugodog with a paper towel and some disinfectant.

Hope that helps you out. Happy training!
