| How does panties/belly band work? I never seen one before so I was wondering how it works? Do you have to have them wear a diaper and then but the panties over it? And if they end up peeing and pooping how messy is it? Is it better to us panties insted of disposable dog diapers? I'm very curious about this product. It must work cause I see a lot of people selling it.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | First of all I would never make a dog wear a diaper unless he had no control over the bowels, diapers are not a substitute for house breaking. Some owners use diapers when a female dog is in heat to protect furnishings from blood, other people say their dog keeps itself so clean, there is no sign. Bellybands are a piece of fabric that hold a sanitary pad in place and are usually used on males who mark. Unneutered male dogs often mark in the house, this is different than peeing, and bellybands are used to prevent marking. You still have to remove the bellyband when you want the dog to pee, and in my opinion, they should not be used for housebreaking, but only to prevent marking. What are you trying to accomplish?

| I've never used the panties, but do use a belly band on one of our males. I put a incontinent pad in it. Don't use a feminine pad as it's not designed for urine. I really like the idea of not having to worry about Boo marking in the house when we are out. I also prefer the ones without the elastic, just a personal preference. My thinking is that the elastic could pinch some, I've no evidence that it would and a lot of people use them with no apparent problems. Like I said, just a personal preference.

| Well for my female I was planning to use a diaper. Like the ones they sell on the website on YT. And because I'm always at my sisters or brothers house every weekend I want to be able to bring her out with me when I do go instead of leaving her at home by herself. So are you telling me that its not good to use for your baby? I'm just very curios. I just want whats best for my fur baby before she comes home.

| Thanks Nancy! Never really saw it that way. =] I guess I won't be using it then. Was it hard to housebreak your yorkie? And is there any tips you can give me on that?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Joey is the first young puppy I've ever had. I've read that Yorkies are more difficult, so I was prepared to follow the rules of crate training. It makes it so much easier because they inherently don't like to mess their bed. You have to use a small crate that only gives them enough room to stand up, and turn around in, or otherwise they will pee, on one side and sleep in the other. You take them out every couple of hours and put them either outside, or on a pad, after they do their business they get a treat, if they don't go, you put them back in the crate for another hour. If they go, they are allowed to play outside the crate for a few minutes while being supervised. We used the crate at night and he had a playpen during the day. If you use the crate at night you don't have to do the playtime afterwards, but we did give a treat. He actually used the pad in the playpen from the start, and learned to use a pee pad on the wood floors, but we had carpet in other rooms and this took longer. Here's a picture of the carseat/carrier bedtime crate we used. Snoozer Pet Products 86 - Wheel Around Travel Pet Carrier in Red. We still use it for a car seat, and occationally he'll run and jump in it, meaning he wants to go somewhere. This site has lots of good tips.
