| Potty Patch We got the Potty Patch a while back, and the puppies are doing pretty well on it! So glad that we went ahead and got it. The big dogs don't use it, as they go outside via the pet door into a fenced in back yard. Anyone else have the Potty Patch? |

| Max sniffed it then walked away to go potty somewhere else. I think it works so long as you start training them to use it from the time they are a puppy.

| Right after she gets up, put her on the potty patch and tell her to go potty. Usually after a couple of times, they like it and go back to it. The scent stays there reminding them, that they are to do their business there . |

| I use piddle pads ... I can just roll it up and toss it in the trash. Works well for my purposes ... I have looked at the "grass" patches with interest, just because they look so much better. However, I question the ease of use: if all the liquid falls into a tray in the bottom, you have to pick it up and move it somewhere to dispose of the, errr ... "contents". PROVIDED I could get down to pick it up and not spill it, I would think I would be risking having the pan twist due to it's size. At any rate, what I'm asking of those who DO have the grass patches, how easy is it to pick up the catch pan and dispose of its contents withoug dumping it on the floor anyway - or wearing it ? |

| We used the Little Rascal (I think that is what it was). Newspapers in the bottom -easy to change-what I didn't like is that the fake grass begins to get really smelly if you aren't diligent about washing it weekly. You are supposed to wash the grass inside a pillowcase weekly. We went back to potty pads-much easier. |

| I want to try it but i thought it was going to be another as seen on TV hoax, so i didn't. I've been sucked into those TV products alot. The puppy pee pads work well for us. =]

| Gracie did tear her pads up which is one of the reasons I tried the grass. She outgrew it. We used to use a pad holder but don't anymore. Bristol does not tear up the pads. Now to even complicate things more we are thinking of coverting to the washable pads. |

After awhile, I just gave up. It's in her ex-pen and I keep hoping that one day just maybe she'll start using it.....so far she hasn't even when I lay her potty pads on it. But it didn't fool her. So now I just lay her potty pad on the floor in her ex-pen. I guess she just prefer her potty pads. | |

| Puppy Patch I wondered if this worked as well as puppy pads....think you should start them on it from the get go and it would be easy. Thanks for sharing!

Donating YT Addict | We finally have our pup using the potty patch after 4 months of trying to grt her to use it. Now how do you travel with it?? What can you put it in? She wont go on grass that isnt her own or on dirt. We were having to buy sod when we camped. Or go home. She held all for 2 days. So we are glad she will go on potty patch now as sod is heavy and you have to water alot. We camp in desert. Any ideas of what we could put it in to move it around? Thanks
