Potty Patch

[richards6402]

Macy uses the potty patch. When we go on vacation I just take a garbage bag and roll the potty patch up and stick it in the garbage bag until we get to where we are going. I put potty pads underneath the grass and don't take the tray. At home I use potty pads under the grass - I tried just emptying the tray and didin't like mess.

Jax, my 1 yr old, won't use it. I even bought some of that spray to attract him to it. He goes right next to it and sniffs, then takes a couple steps and pees right next to it. I'm hoping that the new puppy we're getting next week, who's only 9 wks old, will be easy to train to use it. Maybe then, if he sees her using it, Jax will want to use it.

The first day I had Gracie she thought the pee pad were fun to pull around. I went back to the store and bought one of the frame things to lock the pads into. Some are better then others. The ones I got have a flat plastic bottom and have a plastic frame that you put down over the pad and it has locks on both sides to keep them firmly in place.

cool. Thanks so just use the tray with potty pads at home and travel with grass and potty pads. That works.

Does anyone here use one of the ones with real grass?

Havent seen one with real grass. We have used Sod before while camping ours refuses to go potty in the dirt. Potty patch is so much easier than sod.

Buy a pee pad tray...that is what I did. It holds the pads in place and you can buy cheaper pads. I bought mine at Petsmart and it makes all the difference in the world.

This is the same type I have and I agree you need to purchase the kind that locks to hold the pad in place.
