Pads? and your opinions, please I am moving into an apt this week for the first time since having dogs. I have never used pee pads for training. However, with it just being me at the apt and with the large size of the complex, I am considering training the girls to use pee pads out on the balcony. I have a few reasons for this idea: 1) There are no fenced areas. 2) Having both girls (3.5 yrs and 8 months) on leashes is nearly impossible for one person at this time, 3) I work from home and can't really take them for walks each time one decides it's time to go out, and 4) I still get up some evenings to take one or both out, and I'm not wanting to walk some distance to get to an area where they can go in the middle of the night. Spooky! Anyway, so my idea is to maybe train them to still "go outside" by using the balcony, but having them use peepads out there so it's easy to clean up (and won't fall on the neighbor's patio below). What are your thoughts on this? How do I train them to use pee pads? |
That sounds like a good idea. Both of my babies, 3yrs and 11 months, are potty trained to go on pads. They know how to go outside too, but they will potty on their pads in the house. I have one in the laundry room and one in the master bathroom. That way, if we have guests, they don't have to see pads all over the house and the pads are out of the way and not really visible. We can't use the balcony because here in Florida it's soooo hot, I can't leave that door cracked. If they have to potty when we're not home and the door is closed, that wouldn't be good. LOL |
