lynzy, did you first introduce the litter box as pups? How did you go about actually training them to do this? I have always noticed while pups (specially young) will go on pads they also like to play with them and at times drag them around lol. So I have always thought going outside was best, but am interested in learning about your little litter box training dogs journey! I have never heard of this either :)

It was rather simple and quite an accident (pardon the pun)!! lol anyway, I bought peepads immediately for Miss Mini, while looking for them at Petsmart I came across the Purina DogLitter box and the bags of litter. The laziness in me jumped at the opportunity, not to mention I had at the time a very sick little girl on my hands. I just put her peepads in the box and trained her to go in there, it really was that simple. I don't like the whole thought of pads on the floor etc, for me it was a great solution. I now have 2 litter boxes per dog, lined up in one area in their room (not all over the house) and they go to them all the time...save for Miss Mia who suddenly likes to poop in the corner of the basement!

I now use 107Barneys washable pads, I change them each night before going to bed, sometimes more, but most times just once a day (pick up poop as necessary), no muss, no fuss.

e.t.a. Purina no longer for some stupid reason sells the box which I LOVE, so I use the green boxes above and 2 mortar boxes I bought at lowes dirt cheap, they are black, deep and just a great size. I cut the front off so they just walk in...

e.t.a. Purina still sells the litter, which a number of my friends use, but I prefer the pads...

Lynzy420, I'm so glad you've posted coz I've been looking through Amazon and other pet supply stores for dog litter boxes for my four dogs, the boxes are outrageously expensive, the really fancy ones especially (self cleaning ones are just silly, I mean, I'm lazy, but I don't mind cleaning if my apartment is gonna stink like pee). I had no idea coz I bought one for my car, and it wasn't that bad.

Large Mixing Tub-887102A at The Home Depot

This is available at Home depot in the store, again I cut out a section in front so its walk in for Miss Mini with her disability....I have had these and the green boxes for years, I spray them with cleaner each time I change pads.

Also want to mention that training really took only a couple days with both, having the boxes in another room is an added bonus!

Genius!

Hmmm does anyone that have cats use doggie litter boxes?

Did you tell him Santa is going to put him on the naughty list if he keeps pooping on his face. :sidesplt: :sidesplt: :sidesplt:
