Does your yorkie tear up their puppy pads

[deniselea]

Luci only tore the pad once or twice when she was a pup...from bordom I think. I got the pad holder, and she was fine. Now I can leave a pad down without the holder and she's fine.

But I like the looks of the wizdog! Sometimes Luci will walk through her pee on the pad and get "stinky paws." I love that the wizdog would prevent that from happening...but I don't know if I want to switch methods now when she does so well with the pads.

bella is constantly tearing up her pee pads whenever i walk out of the room or leave her by herself. i know its because she wants attention but i dont want her having an accident every time i go to the restroom or i am in the shower. what do i do ? this is my first puppy

Piper never did but I went ahead and got the trays anyway. I feel like my floor is more protected with them.

Lol, he only tears them up after he pees on them...lately he hasn't been using them, just waiting for me to get home for lunch/after work to go. He is such a good boy! So he ignores them as of late, but yeah, he started by just dragging them around, then he developed into tearing them up, post use. Yucky! Lol, but that's how I knew they were used :P Good luck! I attempted to tape them down and he still tore them up...

Im having this problem at the moment too... bits of pad all over the place I have actually started keeping the sweeping brush next to her pen its that bad!
I am going to have to look into some sort of tray for it because I dont want to tape it down incase she gets the tape and chokes on it.

I had the same problem....this tray/pad holder was a lifesaver for me!!

We put one down for Ally (when she was a baby) knowing that we would be gone from the house for 3 to 4 hours. We taped it down. We came home to what looked like a pillow fight. So...we never really used them for her. When we adopted Tia at Easter this year, we found out she had just about everything, to include ringworm, so she was quarantined to a puppy pen. I put the pads down for accidents and it worked for a while. (Our dogs potty outside.) After about a month, she started shredding them. I tried to get her to stop, but she would just continue. At one point, I thought she was choking on a bell that was missing on a toy, so I took her to the ER. She was choking on the stuffing from the pad. In my panic, I forgot I took the bell off the toy for her safety...and didn't even think she could choke on the pad!

I know that frustration! That's why I started using washable potty pads. Much better!!! I think they do it because they get bored.

My yorkies did chew up the puppy pads, and then I found a website that sells washable pads - best choice I ever made. You have no waste by throwing pads away.
