| Anyone with litterbox experiences? Hi! I am Mary! I will be getting my new little girl Roxie, March 15. She will be 9 weeks old. I am going to be doing litter box training. I have heard good things about this. I would welcome anybody's help if they have done this. Thanks! |

| I use a litterbox for pee pads and it works great but I have a boy think it would work better for you since you do not have the leg lifting issue to think about! |

| litter box training How did you start? The breeder has started her on pee pads, so she should be used to it a little. I am going to be enclosing her in a big pen and have her litter box, toys, and bed in there. Any suggestions? Did you take your dog and place it in the box? Thanks for any information! |

having the pads contained in the box, I think, minimizes mess which is great and makes it easier to take him to strange places because he knows to go where the box is and not carpets, floors, etc. | |

Also, this would solve that pesky little issue of precious baby going to his pad, putting his little front feet on the pad and not realizing the "business end" is over the floor, and missing the pad altogether! You cant hardly fuss at them when they are looking up at you with that absolutely precious little face, almost smiling at you and saying, "Look mommie!!! I am a good girl!! I peed/pooped right here on my pad just like you want!!" | |

| I think this is wonderful. Especially for winters and hot summer days. I would say every 3 hours or so before and after she eats. Best of luck!

| HI! I think I confused Roxie, we have her in a large area with her litter box with pee pad. Also there is her bed, food, water dish, but we have the floor lined with pads because it is carpeted. So, she just goes on pads on the floor, instead of into the litter box. Any suggestions? FYI, Roxie is in hospital right now, she stopped eating, diarrhea. They tested for parvo, which is negative, thank God!, But she is one sick little girl. Praying she will feel better. We brought her in yesterday and by evening she was home and feeling better, but then she took a turn in middle of night, so I brought her in at 7AM. Don't know what is going on! |

| Mhhhhh.......The only time that I placed the pee pad inside the litter box..... found almost all the sand over the floor. One, or two or the three of my Yorkie s had fun kicking and playing with the sand....LOL
