Pad Training Spray - A Treat?????!!!!! Sargie appeared to be half-trained when I got him at 4 months - never goes in a bed, on a sofa, etc.; gets up in the middle of the night and goes on the pad (or, at times, on a throw rug near the pad by mistake). But he still (after a month) leaves the droppings on throw rugs around the house (usually near, but almost never on, the pad). I figured, well, everyone says this is a lonnng process...could be a lot worse. Then I read about the spray and buy the spray. What does he do? He starts licking it madly off the pad. And the old habits continue! Are there any other stories out there of puppies liking the taste of the spray? I note it has "fatty acids" in it...but...c'mon!? |

Feasting on Training Spray Thanks for the advice! I will try that. |
i'm interested in this potty training spray you are talking about. what type of potty pads are you using? are they shreddable like newspaper? do you recommend that they can be duct taped down for the puppy that shreds? do you think that crating and then graduating to a gated area with these pads and the spray on them is a good course of events? |
Just picked this up today! praying it works! I need a miracle! LOL |

But - the pads are like cottony material with a plastic liner under them. I have heard there is a Square pee pad plastic holder. I never crate my babies, I just use a puppy bed in a small gated area with a newspaper area & a play area with water & dry kibble food ofcourse. Maybe Instead of the puppybed you can use your crate just leave the door open. Hope this helps! |
Stilllll trying... DAY - whatever, I've already lost track - like five? - OF THE TRAINING SPRAY Okay, Sargie has stopped licking it - waiting till it dries works. However, he still isn't using the sprayed pad (I have one sprayed, one unsprayed - testing, you see, always testing). He uses the unsprayed one, which isn't even a doggie pad - it's just a plain bedliner (friend had them left over from putting near her cat's box - wanted to get rid of them). Sargie has no problem wetting on the unscented pad. He will also go on the doggie pads (without spray). Either pad with spray, makes no difference. And he still usually leaves the droppings a few inches away from any pad. He's a gem at holding it - but he can't get the knack of where to go when he goes. I'm also afraid to move the pad to a more appropriate place (it's in the living room, because that's where he started going, even though I was trying to force a kitchen deal) because he will go right back to that throw rug in the living room. That's why I hoped the spray would lure him into compliance...not having a whole lotta luck. Glad it works for some - hope Sargie finally gets the message. |
Sorry to hear that. I feel your pain. I was the one that started this post saying how great it is-and it is great-but it's not 100%. harlem, started out really great but he sometimes looses his mind and goes back to old ways even with the spray being used. So it helps but nothing is going to be the ONE, I see that now. Just time and patience I guess. good luck and i would try moving him to the kitchen or bathroom instead of the living room. Good Luck with everything. |
Day 2 and NOT working for Bella:mad: |
Not really working for Tucker either. In his X-pen area he is pretty reliable about going on the pee pad with no intervention but he still poops wherever he wants. Once we get downstairs, though, forget about it..it's open season on the carpet so we got the spray in hopes he would use the pee pad. I got excited earlier because he used the pad downstairs independently but then a few hours later, peed on the carpet again. Ah well...patience.... |

Day 4. Not working. She just licks it. :mad: |
Yeah, I used that stuff too and it worked for me too. My problem was that I had to buy a big ol thing of it & it only took a few times using it before Sadie got the idea, so I had a bunch left over. |

i am going to purchase this stuff and use it with the nature's miracle pads. |

No luck yet Sargie is still wetting on pads (usually), sprayed or unsprayed. He is still leaving the droppings wherever, usually on the throw rug anywhere from an inch to a foot from the pad, or in a far room on a rug. Rarely find anything anywhere else, but I can't seem to break him from leaving droppings in the back room, or near, but off the pad. I just bought a reusable pad which I am going to spray and see if that becomes his "litter box" since he won't use the actual litter box, spray or no spray, even though it's right next to the pad he uses. I know it could be much, much worse - but I haven't found the spray to be helpful - yet. Hope springs eternal. |
got it for my new puppy, Spencer. Nigel already goes outside, he's a year already. Spencer seems to have already been crate trained by breeder (he's 9 weeks old) and he lets me know when he has to go potty. He is peeing on the pads, no problem..it's the poop I gotta watch him like a hawk. I hope the spray works |
i just bought this today. it sounds like many people had great success with it. i am using the nature's miracle quick results puppy pads that have a scent in them and i decided i would take all the help i can get, why not use this too? |
