| My Katie-Choo is tearing up her puppy pads My Katie-Choo is tearing up her puppy pads. Does anyone know why she is doing this? She usually does it when no one is around and I am not there to scold her and to tell her to stop. Thanks for your help. John |

| Holly hadn't done that until about three days ago. I just taped it down while I get one of those holders.

| Here is my best advice, I went through the same thing with my 6 month old. If we would put a new one down and then leave, our yorkie was all about tearing it to shreds! Even though he pretty much has the pad training down, except for an every once in awhile accident, we still make him pee on the pad atleast twice if it is new before we leave, he is less likely to tear it up if it has pee on it! Hope the same works for you!! |

| so i taped the ends of the pee pads but she is still able to somehow pry the pads loose from the tape. and she doesn't just rip them, she mutilates the pads until the whole family room is filled with cotton shreds everywhere. |

| Maybe you could use something else. Perhaps that pad holder. I know there is also a indoor potty thingamajiggy. I don't know what it's called but here's a pic.

| Try reusable pee pads. My babies also did that, so i got the reusable pee pads and that worked for me and when i am not home they are crated, so no more cotton shreds.

Anyways, I bought the washable pee pads and Cali and I get along sooooooooooo much better! After a couple of unsuccessful tries of tearing up the pads, she gave up, they stay in place, she pees and poops on them, and life is good.

| Max is doing the same thing. When he feels we're ignoring him he tears up his wee wee pads. Do you think Bitter Apple could help? Maybe if they taste that on the pad they will leave them alone?? |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | morgan tore her's up too when i had them in there when she was a puppy. So i bought washable ones and solved that problem. I also tried the pee pad holder but it didn't work. she was still able to tear up the pad from the middle out. go figure LOL i have morgan trained to go outside now so we don't have that problem anymore. Its much easier. good luck
