Since you asked, my dog is dual trained to go on the pad or outside. |

Also, if you do think you might have an answer, I would appreciate the help. I'm proud, but not THAT proud. |
Question What are some recommendations as far as Potty Pads.. Is there one that is better then the other.. Also, what would anyone recommend to use after "accidents" :animal-pa |
or is the liter training better then the pad!? |
Ugh. I'm so confused with all this training ): I started Tyler out with just outside training and allowing him the living room and dining room. That didn't work out at all so then it was potty outside and be leashed to me at all times. Then I decided to get the x pen and pad train him. He uses it sometimes but other times he doesn't. Argggh! Am I doing it all wrong??? |

I have not heard great things about the litter, though I think some people are into the little grass plot, fake or real. I am using pads and the outdoors. Quote:
Every inside accident is a signal that your dog either needs to be confined more or watched more closely. Also, while I am training indoors/outdoors, people say it's harder for dogs to pick that up. So if you originally wanted outdoors only, I'd recommend sticking with that for now. Good luck, everyone! :) |
You guys are lucky you are only dealing with puppies!!!! What gives????? I have a 1 1/2 year old that is all of a sudden not potty trained. I just recently got a new puppy and I think she is rebelling!!! Kitchen time again!!! |
:animal36 I too am going through potty training boot camp :animal36 I have had Marley just about a month and a half and we are still at day 0 with training. I have to say he is awesome at night and has been since day 1. I take him to his pad right before bed time(around 9pm) and he always goes pee. I then take him to his crate for the night, and he sleeps all night long until 7:00am. I have tried to wake him at night to see if he needs to go, but he refuses to come out puts his head down and goes back to sleep. He has never had an accident in his crate which makes me super proud:thumbup: Day time is completely different:mad: I take him first thing in the morning and have about a 20% chance of him going. He usually just stares at me like are you going to move so I can get off this pad and go pee:eek::confused: I take him after meals, after playing, after naps, and yet I still get the same response every time. Usually we play the same game: 1. I put him on the pad 2. He stares at me waiting for me to move 3. He gets tired of waiting and runs off 4. I put him back on the pad 5. Repeat steps 1-4 for 15mins until he finally can run fast enough to get away from me and goes under something to pee before I can catch him:2omg: I do reward him every time he goes on the pad, and I have to remember he is only 3 months old. He is very stubborn:woof:but he's worth every paper towel, wee wee remover, and pooper scoop that I have used to clean up his mess:) |

Have you tried putting your guy on a leash so that he can't get away from you? Also, I had a big breakthrough with Thor when I crated him until he pottied. I would take him out every hour and put him on the pad. If he didn't pee after a few minutes, I would put him back. He held it for a ridiculously long time at first, but he figured out pretty quickly that the potty pad was the gateway to freedom. |

To be honest, I would keep standing with him on the pad until it "clicks" for him. You are right that he might not understand what he's getting treated for otherwise. I know it takes a lot of time at first, but it will be so worth it once he learns to manage it on his own. Again, if he has a crate, that can help since you (hopefully) can count on him not pottying there. You can also try an xpen. |
Persistence and patience works really well..! Riley in the past two days..has only had 2 accidents, and yesterday he had none..He peed on the pad 5 times, and today he pooped on the pad(which is a first, I hate to admit) and peed following that.. I tell you..this is a GREAT thing..even though he had 2 accidents today..and thats because we've never had that many consecutive pottys in a row.. so.. I'm very excited about it!!! :animal-pa |
