People are negative about Pee pads Why is it many people are so negative about dogs using pee pads indoors. I train my pup to use the potty on her pee pad. I'm not lazy it just works or us.... She's tiny and it's easier for her and us. I plan on keeping her trained this way but you hear so many rude comments about it. I mean it should be each to their own right? |
My babies use pee pads too. It just works for us. They are home alone from 8am until about 4ish and I work to far away to go home at lunch to let them go outside. I couldn't imagine them having to hold it that long. I know I sure can't:D |
I am very lucky to be able to work from home, but my dogs are pee pad trained, because when it rains,or snows, they refuse to go out, so I pad trained them to go potty in the porch. it works for us, and let me tell you I got sick with the flu last year and I could not get out of bed, and all I had to do was lay in the couch and open the door to the enclosed porch, which it was a blessing to them and ME.. hugs, |
On this site, most are positive about it. I've learned to just be more "eh, to each their own!" about it but I admit, when first joining this site, I had never heard of adult dogs using pee pads and thought it was gross. Plus I find that it's always the folks who use pee pads who say their dogs still have accidents, or miss pads, or go on rugs. I just find it confusing to the dog. How can you expect them to know the difference between a throw rug and a pee pee pad? And then some find it completely acceptable if they miss the pad while pooping because, well, they tried. So anyways, it used to bug me, but now I just don't care. Eh... if people don't mind doing it, all the more to them! I admit, it'd be really nice during some freezing nights and rain storms to have him being able to go inside, but I prefer him to know business is done outside and I don't like pee and poop inside period, but it's just my style and I won't judge others for their choices. |
Nice are both indoor and outdoor trained which is great when it's raining. I believe that more and more people are using pads. Just yesterday they had a HUGE display in Walmart. I've even seen them at TJMaxx recently. Personally, I only use washable from T. Bumpkins~just love them! Washable and reusable dog and puppy pee pads, belly bands, and diapers by T. Bumpkins & Co. |
Im not against!! Totally love them!! I use T Bumpkins Washable potty pads as well!!! LOVE EM!! Some people just dont get that our babies are perfect and their poo doesnt stink so its ok for them to go inside! Lol!!! yeah right!! :) |
I agree with Britster, to each their own. I prefer to have my dog trained to go outside. But if that is not your way of doing things, so be it. I do find it difficult to train a dog for both. Seems to confuse them. |
I def think they are the best! when its freezing rain, snow or cold,no getting sick yourself walking around in the early morning or late night right out of bed and no freezing the poor dogs bellys outside in the snow! brrr :) |
Bigger dogs can have doggie doors, which allow them to relieve themselves when nature calls, however, it's not safe for a small Yorkie and because of predators, one should watch them when they go outside. Also, I like the idea that a dog can go when he wants to go instead of waiting for a human to open the door, so pee pads work perfectly for me. If you own a Yorkie, you can’t worry too much what other people think, they just don’t understand. :p |

my cedric goes number two around 4 am everyday..and let me just say potty pads save my life because i have to go to work and i need my sleep. i love that he can use these it works for us... |
I was excited to help someone esle having some indoor pottying issues and tried to pass on the pee pad solution. All I got in return was attitude, so with them, it remains my little secret to success. |
I've never used them for any of my dogs in the past and never thought about it when I adopted Ally, now 3 years old. I used them with Tia when she was a baby, but she started to eat them and I had to rush her to the ER because she choked on them. So, at the points, I don't use them. I do, however, wish I did because I live in Florida and it would be so helpful during hurricane season. |

I don't mind if others use them though, no big deal. |

Another advantage of pee pads is when the dog is older and has possible bladder problems, a dog use to going outside will probably not want to adjust to the pee pads. |
