Pee Pad Holders Do they help?...because Jada tends to get right on the very edge of the pad to pee and she always pees a little bit on the floor. |
As long as she stands all the way in the holder. Course, sounds like your pup is gifted - she pees outside of the box! |
I would like to know this too. Mikki gets just as much off the pad as on it. |
Ha! Well, I have some for sell!! Lol! I always reward mine if "they tried" lol! Sometimes, they mean well but don't quite hit the mark! We now use washable pads so we don't use the holders anymore |
I use washable and disposable (mostly washable) I just thought if she could feel she wasn't actually all the way on the pad it would help??? |
Here's my experience with a pee pad holder: Never used one. Then, last week, I decided to give it a try. That evening, suddenly, I hear Mandie just going crazy barking at the doorway to the room where it was. I thought maybe she heard something or saw a bug. I turned on the light and then it dawned on me...she was barking at that strange plastic thing sitting in HER SPOT. lol I took it up immediately because she would never had gone on it seeing as how she thought it was the enemy. :D |
Michelle, does Bogie use pads too? Does he lift his leg? I heard Kristin say she uses a water bottle with a potty pad around it so her boys have something to aim for. Wondering what setup you use. This boy thing is still baffling to me. Also, what age was Bogie neutered? No advice about the pad tray but curious about it as Luma does sometimes go on the corner. |
I don't use a holder, but I do put a larger washable pee pad under the disposable pad, so there is an extra 3 inches or so of washable where the disposable ends. It usually catches everything if ZoE gets too close to the edge. |
I have a boy and he squats on the pad but lifts his leg outside. Hes not neutered. But the pad holder seems like a good idea because with him running in and out of hiss pen like a lunatic, he always crinkles it up. |

The first day I had Gracie home as a puppy I realized I should have purchased the frame for her puppy pads. So back to the store I went. I bought the Out brand frames that are no longer available at our local store. It solved the problem for me. But Gracie was never caged with a pee pad frame so she never had the free time to work on digging into the framed pad. The frames I have go down over the top of the pad and lock into place. It is very secure. Any pup that tries to dig into the pad would need to be taught not to do that. I have seen some less secure frames that would not work for a minute. Amazon has some of the more secure brands available. Walmart is selling a Simple Solution brand frame that, to me, appears worthless as far as preventing a puppy from stealing the pad away. |
Mine loved the pee pad holder when I tried it. As soon as I was out of sight, they took to shredding the pad to pull it out of the holder :) My friend put her pee pads in a litter box and that helped with the pee-off the pad. It is so funny when you see their front paws on the pad, they pee off the pad, and then they look at you as if to say, "I am on the pad." |
We put our pads on a large rubber mat. It doesn't hold the pad in place, but it is extra insurance in case the pad gets full and one of the boys goes too close to the edge. I don't use the bottle, but I know that works for a lot of people. We just keep our pad a few inches from the wall to prevent leg lifting. Then Max does a squat with one foot off of the floor. :p |
I tried the holder. They ended up peeing on the edge of the holder. It's now sitting in our basement. |

Big Squirt from Rascal Dog Litter Box Co. 1 Attachment(s) I'm up in the back corner of a condo. building in the city... I set up a litter box in the back corner in my bedroom so Riley has access to a potty area if he really needs to use it while I'm gone. Instead of using the litter, I use the pads in the box. I trained him on the pads first but he is also trained to go outside. I was using the Purina Second Nature Litter Box but the opening was not very big so he would have to jump into it to use it. What he started doing was standing outside of it but lifting his leg and aiming to pee onto the pad. I now have the Big Squirt Litter Box from Rascal Dog Litter Box Company. I decorated it by wrapping the sides in leopard duct tape I found at Target. I didn't purchase the grass and I took the grates out and only have the pads in it. [I Have Attached A Pic. ...] RASCAL DOG LITTER BOX COMPANY, L L C HOME PAGE I order a big box from YT Member Ryan of New Puppy Pads: Puppy Pads - Puppy Training Pads - Dog Pee Pads - Dog Wee Wee Pads - Pish Pads I also have a Diaper Genie for the used pads so there is no smell, at all, in my place. |

My hubby made a little contraption for me out I plexi glass.... It has "walls" on 2 sides about 8 inches high and a floor. I then put our washable pee pads in it. I have one who does hike his leg, but now he can happily hike an it still lands on the pee pad. |
The diaper genie thing seems like a great idea. Theresa do you fold the used pad when you put it in the genie? I despise the scent of urine....I think this could really be a life saver!! |
Katie Scarlett has a PTPA (potty training puppy apartment). She only potty's in there now. And I think it being enclosed like it is helps her a lot. It is like she is closed in a little room and knows to pee on the pad. But now Mollie (Mom's Maltese) potty's on the pad. We do not have it in a holder, but I'm thinking we need to try it. She also pees right on the edge of the pad and it goes off sometimes. I have one of those plastic clip in holders from Wal Mart. I may try that and see if it helps. |

Ohhh and I meant to say.... I haven't had any issues with him not walking all the way onto it to do his business when he has to. [knock on wood... ] :) |

There is literally NO Smell! I empty it whenever it starts getting full... It really is Fabulous!! :thumbup: :thumbup: If he goes #2 on it I just flush it. |

He will occasionally use it when I am home and it is soooo Cute! I will know if he has used it because he will run to me and Bark to let me know he has used it!! LOL!!!! I haven't had any problems with him when we go visiting or are out he will hold it and go outside... I have a few belly bands but have never had to use them. It's like if he knows there is no potty pad, then he knows he needs to hold it and go outside....??! Ohhh I also do the same thing, outside! Will act all crazy and make a scene like it's the Best thing in the world he has ever done! LOL!! He gets all Happy!! |

I love your fashionable setup and Riley is such a good boy. We do the same as you -- throw a party when the guys do their business, indoors on the pad and outdoors! They love the praise. When my brothers visit, they have a good time praising the doggies too. :p Max and Teddy are like Riley, they know that there are no pads at other people's houses or in other indoor places. |

It's True... they can be quite stubborn but are Smart little cookies!! You just need to let them know where it is okay to go. If you catch them going someplace else, make a sharp loud ahhh ahhh kind of sound, while clapping hands and then immediately take them to where it is appropriate to go. When they do go where they are supposed to go, Praise like Crazy!! :) I agree you may have to build some sides to the potty area. I can tell Riley likes the Big Squirt much better than that Purina Second Nature litter box he first started with... The Big Squirt has a nice amount of room. Good Luck!! :) |

Thanks Kristin!! He is my little Divo! :p That's sooo Cute about your Brothers. They Definitely Love the praise. I can see Riley literally Smiling. |
I use pee pad holders with Coco. I have the ones sold at Petsmart and they work well for us. I have 3 around the house. |
