| I just talked to a girl at the pet store about this yesterday. She suggested a "tinkle tray," which is like a mesh screen/tray you can put over the wee wee pad, which keeps the puppy from getting at the pad. She said they work great. I just googled "tinkle tray" and I found the site that sells them. Hope you find something that works! |

| I don't know if this would work, but you could try bitter apple spray. Hopefully this would not discourage the pup from going where he is supposed to.... |

| I am so glad to see this! My 16 week old Yorkie Apso is teething now and he is chewing everything, including his wee wee pads. He tears them to shreds and even eats pieces of them. I have been going crazy. I must find one of these trays! |

| What brand of pads are you using? I found that the Hartz ones that are "quilted" design are much less likely to get shredded up than the others (which I can't remember the name).

| For boredom, have you tried the Kong or other kinds of toys where you put the treat inside and they have to work at it to get it out? I have seen that tray online too, which was mentioned above. I think you don't use pads, or maybe the pads go underneath the mesh screen, so your puppy can't get to the pad. Good luck! |

| MauiGirl, I have used 3 different kinds of pads. First I got some off brand at Walmart and the next time I bought the Hartz ones. Then I bought a large case of the pads made for humans who are bed ridden and was cutting them in half. That is the most cost effective way to go but when Reggie starting shredding them and getting that cotton type stuffing everywhere I bought another pack of the Hartz ones for the reason you mentioned. However, he still can tear them up, it is just not quite as messy. We have not tried the Kong. What kind of treats do you use in them? We have not given any treats to Reggie yet. He just gets Royal Canin puppy food. When we first got him my daughter gave him some of her cornbread stick and he got very sick to the point of vomiting and diarrhea. It was a big NO NO that she was not aware of. Then later once a vet gave him some of the squirty type cheese as a treat when he got his shots and as soon as we got home with him he had diarrhea. So, since then I have been leary to give him any kind of treat just because he seems to have a sensitive stomach. |

Maybe some other posters who have can share what they put in it. |

We had this problem with our dog, but we realized it was only happening when we left him out and about when we were gone. It was separation anxiety rather than boredom. We solved it by sticking to crating him when we are out. He is relaxed and calm when he is in his crate. It took us realizing that what we may think is best while we are out, i.e. him having a lot of a space, may actually not be what makes him feel the most comfortable and secure. | ||

| We rub a small amount of peanut butter on the inside lip and sometimes put some treats inside as well. We only give it to Gir when it's time to go in his crate. Now when he sees anybody get the peanut butter jar out of the fridge he runs into his crate and peers out the door. Inexpensive and easy treat. We moved to peanut butter after buying the kong "stuff'N" which is essential just peanut butter flavored fat. |
