| I'm curious to read answers here. I just bought some today for the new puppy. I figured I would use them if she was sleeping so she wouldn't pee where she slept. Leo had a problem with that for the first nine months or so.

| I made June some panties last night and she is going to wear them at night since she has peed and pooped in my bed before. Sweetviolet had a free pattern available and I guess it would be fine if I sent it to you - providing you want to sew them yourself. They are easy to make. June will also wear them when she is running around and playing with Cash since she is really quick to scurry out of eyesight and pee wherever she likes. I am hoping it will work, but I am sure it will. I think they are a great housebreaking tool (not to mention seasonal!).

| A panty with a liner makes sense for dogs in season, as does a belly band for males. But I think poop dosn't need to be contained in a diaper on a dog overnight. That is just unhealthy for the dog. And isn't it time consuming for you to have to bathe its butt to get the poop and pee out of its hair? I think it would be more healthy for you to contain your pup in a crate when you can't watch it, or an X-pen of somekind. Or you can tie a leash around your waist and attach the other end to the puppy so you can pay attention to what they are doing. I think some manufacturers just go for the money and not the practicle side for the owner. A Dog is just not a human baby. Good luck with what ever you decide to do! |

I agree that dogs are not human babies, but you know, sometimes clever people adapt things to fit animals. If you haven't tried it, I don't think you have a right to have an objection to it. The panties simply teaches your dog to hold it and it is very practical to be able to take your pup somewhere without having to worry that she will pee or poop on someone else's carpets or couches. I think it is disgusting to have a dog pee in your bed and I think that is a more unhealthy than having a pup learn to hold it. The panties are not really meant to catch the pee or poop, it is used to train them to hold it. I am sure that a pup won't poop in it twice. I make the panties from a free pattern, so it has nothing to do with manufacturers and money. I don't want to offend, but I think that if you don't know everything about something, you shouldn't comment on it. Again, I'm not being mean or rude, but if you haven't used something or at least read up about it, you shouldn't dismiss the thing. JMO

| I use belly bands on my males only. Even though two are neutered they just started marking when the intact one started showing signs of man hood. Ha, ha! My girls get confined to my kitchen dinning area when they are in heat so they don't use panties.

| Okay warning you, this is probably a stupid question, but since I don't know the answer, I am going to ask away..lol The belly bands, for lil boys...I see ppl post things in reference to them, but what exactlly are they for? I saw you said, helps stop them from marking, since reaching manhood...so makes them not be able to go?? again I apologize if this is stupid question... |

I am sorry if I offended you, but the statement still stands: If you haven't tried something, don't diss it. You are only limiting yourself.
