YAY!! haha

Suzy · 12-04-2007, 08:46 PM

Wahoo for pee spots! Glad the girls are learning

TurtleDove · 12-04-2007, 08:46 PM

Way to go girls!

But, how did you DO it?! My poodle is sooo accustomed to going outside that if we don't let her out in time, she'll potty in the house, regardless of the pads. There were times when she peed & pooped on the carpet, and the pad was right NEXT to it

With the rain starting and such, I'd love for her to start using the pads inside the house.

pepe mint · 12-04-2007, 08:49 PM

ok that should cover my thoughts

Sadie's Mom · 12-04-2007, 08:58 PM

As someone who lives in an apartment, believe me when I say you will love the pads. I keep Sadie in the bathroom when I'm not home (no way do I trust her with run of the house). She's got enough room in there, but not too much where she gets in trouble. I laugh at the comments about the rugs...on the few occassions where I have left my rug out in the bathroom, she uses that. So I have to make sure to pick it up every day. And the pads are nice when it's raining out (oh wait...forgot that your girls like to get wet) and at night. I refuse to go out when it gets too late, so it's nice to know she'll use the pad.

I live on the bottom floor of my apartments, but wanted to be able to let Sadie out on the patio at times. Being the runner that she is, I knew I'd have to do something so I put up metal chicken wire. What's cool about it is that no one really can tell that it's there unless they get real close and Sadie is safe out there!

CHAR7 was nice enough to send us a Washable pee pad

(Thank you girl!!) and as some of you know - I'm having to move from a house to an apartment soon and have started trying to train Chanel and Cheri to use the pads and someone actually DID today - course - being that it's 30 degrees outside this morning may have something to do with it lol - but I have hope now ~!

YAY Chanel and Cheri !! after 5-1/2 years of being able to go in the yard... this is huge for the culprit

Oh my V, we just also moved into an aopt. after being in a house for 26 years and the boys growing all of their 3 years there and are having a horrible time potty training on pee pads!!! I finally resorted to belly bands yest. because I couldn't stand it anymore...blah. I will be following your results like a hawk...Girl...apt. life is verrrry different......They look at me everyday like uhhh w hen are we going home???

yorkiecrazy · 12-05-2007, 08:02 PM

Yipppeeeee!! Way to go Cheri!!!! That's my girl!!!

I'm NOT looking forward to stepping out late at night with the girls to 'go' either - especially here in Houston - it's too scary - not to mention - what I wear to sleep in is NOT exactly what I can wear outside if you know what I mean

Okay I just read a little further...so estatic to know I'm not the only one who has had to resort ot an apt. with a small herd of Yorkies

...we are on the second floor and have a balcony it has a wood fence built close but is open at the end with stairs...blah so we are going for walks 2-3 times a day and yes its chilly here..what are others using on the balcony for them to potty on??? Please I'm desperate

I knew you could do it

Good Girls!!

Once when I had Molly who was smaller than Crystal and on the 2nd floor I bought a sheet of pexi glass since my condo had rules about such things and apts too want things pretty much the same. Since this stuff was clear you wouldn't even know it was there from the street or from inside for that matter but it did made sure she was safe when she went out on the little porch.

You will love it and on these cold mornings in Ohio, I could kiss these pee pads.

IluvLucy · 12-06-2007, 04:33 AM

YAY Spy Girls!! You're so good for your Mommy!

red98vett · 12-06-2007, 04:48 AM

Ladies - when we move I'll be checking BACK on this thread - we're having mostly good luck but the real test will be IN THE apartment - and I didn't know so many had made this kind of move - I agree - apartment living is WAY different than a house and I'm pretty nervous - especially leaving the girls all day long.....

BUT we'll make it !

my main worry isn't really peeing but crime - I can see it now - I'll be having 20 locks on all doors and windows and won't even be able to get into my own place - LOL (I'm so NOT mechanical) I had trouble just changing an outdoor light the other day and was really missing my husband....he was the one who always did all that 'stuff'

Joan - thanks for the plexiglass idea ! You're just full of good ones - when I see those gated balconies (iron) I think SHOOT - Cheri and Chanel would easily squeeze thru - The clear sheet of plexiglass is THE PERFECT Solution and it keeps out the wind too right ??

this has been a huge help ....Thank you ALL !!

crystalsmom · 12-06-2007, 05:13 AM

Yes Villette it kept out the wind and snow, I only did it about half way up since Molly wasn't a jumper. Another nice thing is they can see everything going on outside.

az jude · 12-06-2007, 06:08 AM

Great news on the "Girls" and the pee pads! My grandaughter in Denver actually trained her Sheltie to a litter box on the balcony. So funny to see but it worrked!!!!! She lived on the third floor.

crystalsmom · 12-06-2007, 06:13 AM

I used a piece from a roll of sod once too!! "Necessity is the Mother of Invention"
