Well this is a GREAT SITE!!!! I would NEVER wash the pads with any other clothes, that is for sure.

I will wash alone in a light bleach water and wipe out with cleaner after a load of soiled pads.

Many on here are saying that their is virtually no smell with the pads folded with the soil to the inside, and one puts them in a garbage pail lined with a trash bag till laundry day. This is probably the way I will handel this delima.

I was not able to get any pads today. I am going to order them online, it is much much cheeper!!! It is a Godsend to never have to purchase the disposable pads agian for my family. I am glad I found out about this this soon. I have only had my babies for about 4 months so I have not spent a whole lot at this point.

Thank you so very much for your input, you are very kind.

Have a GREAT nite!!! Ronda, Harley and Sophia

I do have one question about the washable puppy pads that another member on here brought up.

Do your Yorkies know the pad from other material surfaces such as throw rugs and carpets? I sure hope they do!!!! I am so excited about being able to use the washable pads!!! I am hoping that they do know, because of location, location, location of the pad???

Any input on this subject would be very much appreciated!!!!

Also, are many of you able to let your Yorkies run the house with them being totally potty trained? I am soooooooo looking forward to this day!!!

As always, Thank you so very much for this Wonderful site, it would not be possible without everyone of you on here!!! Ronda, Harley and Sophia

We tried taping our paper ones down too for a while. But then they just scratched at the center until they got it torn up anyway.

Good Luck and HANG IN THERE. It will get better - PROMISE!

I got the reclaimed Valethics washable pads and they are the best thing I ever bought for my dogs. I have about 12 of them and do a load once a week. Like some of the others, I just have a trash can with a lid to put the folded soiled ones in. You ask about location: mine use it anywhere. They go in the laundry room at our house, but I've taken them to my office before and they use them without hesitation even though they aren't used to being there.

As far as throw rugs go...my little rascals will go on ANY throw rug, ANY where...they think those are pee pads too, I guess

I can't have any throw rugs in the areas my doggies are. We keep our bedroom doors and bathroom closed.

Good luck!!

Here's the link for Little Bit's pads
http://www.freewebs.com/blueskyyorki...bellybands.htm

For the other questions:
As far as knowing the difference between rugs and pads, it is just training and location. We've only had ONE accident on a throw rug and that was because I was dumb enough to put a throw rug down right next to the potty pad.

No other accidents on throw rugs after I thumped myself in the head.

My older Shih Tzu has the run of the house all the time. He is 11. Coby is 1 year old and has free reign of two big rooms and two stairways. We are still in the process of enlarging his freedom. But that can only be done when we are 100% focused on watching him 100% of the time in the new rooms. My mom has been very ill for a few months, so we haven't had the needed focus. We simply avoid failure by not giving him the chance to make mistakes. That way, Coby is ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL!!

That is GREAT news!!!!! I understand that they have to be watched totally while learning. I am just happy to hear that they will eventually be able to run the house. I want them to always be with our family!!!

Also about the accidents, shewwwww. I was afraid when someone brought that subject up. Thank you for your input here, you are very kind!!

It is nice the way you make sure Coby is ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL, that is just BRILLIANT!!!!!!! Yippieeeeeeeee

I just looked at her site, and she has some GREAT new prints! A lot of them don't even show the spots. (Although with a new pup, sometimes that makes it hard to reward them if you can't see it, so be careful with that. Now that mine are older, they TELL when they've pottied in order to demand their treat - so I don't need to see it.)
