We litter trained Buddy and have loved it, now Bella has not taken to it quite as well she hates stepping on the litter. |
Silvia also chewed on the pellets when we first started training her. It worried me that she would ingest them and them swell in her tiny belly, but we never had that issue. It was like she just wanted to chew them and shred them. She never threw up or anything like that. She did eventually stop doing this, not really sure what the change was, but we began to notice less and less shredded pellets, until there aren't anymore now. I think it's just the novelty of something new to chew on, like the above poster said. Of course, some things just won't work for some dogs, but I belive it's worth the try just like any other kind of training option, considering the ease of it after trained. |
this may sound silly :animal-pa thanku fro the replys guy! am so glad to have found YT :) this may sound like a silly question....but is it cat litter i buy? ive honestly never heard of litter training for a dog...but it does sound like a brilliant idea....:D:D:D |
I use an actual litter made for dogs called Second Nature by Purina. I get it at Petco. Also, Petco and Petsmart have their own brand of dog litter. And I was in Target tonight and they had a brand too. I've also been reading the above posts and a few people have used the stove pellets from Home Depot. I haven't tried those, but some have. The key is to find what works for you. You may have to try a couple before you find one you like. Good luck! |
I think litter box training will be my next thing. Im going to get a litterbox tomarrow and see if that'll work better. My baby boy started getting the idea of peeing on his pad but I am sick of washing it almost every day. He pooes on different areas tho so idk if the litter box will change that. It seems that he doesnt like going pooing where he pees:confused: Will litter box give him enough area to go around in circles like he does before when getting ready to poo? Thanks! |

Litter box training I have been thinking about litter box training so I was reading all of your posts. When I was searching the internet for a dog litter box I ran across this website and I love it. It will save so much money in the long run and the babies will stop chewing on the pellets. Rascal Dog Litter Box - Home Check it out. |

I was having issues getting Disney potty trained. When he was a few months old, we were on vacation in Florida at my parent's house while it was cold up here in Illinois. He did FANTASTIC going potty outside on the grass. My dad had an idea to go to Home Depot down the road from their house in Florida and bought two squares of sod. He put it in a beer flat lined with plastic so no water leaked. We brought those home and placed them by the door Disney was supposed to go out. He would switch between the sod and the litter box depending on what business he had to take care of. When it got warmer, he went outside to do all business. He's now to the point that he will use the litter box if there is a pee pee emergency, but won't poo in it. I obviously no longer have the sod, but he goes outside primarily. The litter is a wonderful lifesaver if I'm in the shower or if he wakes up in the middle of the night to go potty. |

Hmmmm.......not sure about particular stores that would sell it where you are, but have you considered ordering online? Maybe you could get a bag and take it to a local pet store and see if they could get it, once they know what it is. Here are a few links: Purina Second Nature Amazon.com Shopzilla.com Epinions.com |

A pellet stove looks like a wood heating stove, but burns pellets instead. The pellets are made of wood pulp and dissolve when wet. |
