Calling all wee-wee pad users .. I have a question? :rolleyes: .. Ok Currently My 8 month old yorkie Lexi uses her wee-wee pads that are placed in an enclosed porch off my kitchen which I use as a laundry room... Soon I am having a baby and I may be moving to an EXTREMELY GORGOUS Apartment and... There is no enclosed porch?? There is a small deck off the Kitchen... but that is also outside ... My question to you all is ... Where are your Wee-wee pads located in your home? :confused: ... She does not like going outside to the bathroom ... I have a cat as well... if i could get my yorkie to use the automatic litter box I would be in HEAVEN .. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...:) Thanks in advance :p |
We have one in the bathroom off of our bedroom. We also have one in my office where the babies stay when we are gone. But, they also think the living room rug is a pee pad also. |
Please excuse my horrible spelling !!! lol :eek::( |

LOL !! I have a small rug by the front door that must have made my poor lexi upset cause she thinks its one of her wee-wee pads as well ... |
I have one upstairs in the living room (would like to change that but there's no other place!) and one downstairs in her little area with her tent and toys. Unfortunately downstairs is carpeted and she uses the whole carpet basically. She has her favorite spots right in the middle of the room, or right at the bottom of the stairs, which I've been trying to clean up with a cleaner that should be getting rid of pheromones. But yeah those are where my two are! I wish I could find somewhere a little more out of the way for the living room one. She hates going in front of people, but she rarely uses the one downstairs (she just uses the carpet instead!) |
I keep two in the office where I also keep his crate. I have one in front of the crate, and one behind the crate that is more private, and where he likes to do his poo's. It's important to keep clean any mistakes with an enzyme cleaner such as Nature's Miracle. You could put the pad in a place where she has an accident, than gradually move the pad to a place where you like. Some dogs like pads in private places, not in the main room. When he was a puppy, I had pads in every room. |
I live in a tri-level townhome, so I have one in our masterbathroom which is also where he stays when I'm at work. Also one downstairs right next to our kitchen (although he doesn't really use this one that much)- if he has to go, he'll run upstairs to the masterbath b/c he thinks thats where he's supposed to go always. |
I've just moved and I've had to put it into the laundry room, but at our other house it was in a downstairs bathroom. It was a little hard because company that needed to use the restroom had to "see" her restroom, but there was no other place :) |
We have our weewee pad in the garage and it works out great, we actually put Faith's leash on and bring her to her pad. |
I have one in my bedroom that 2 use and 1 in the corner in the dining room (we don't use the DR) which they use once in awhile. My other 2 go outside and they all randomly use carpeting. |
the ex-pen/tent is in a back corner of my living room and the pee pads are in there. |
I have a small area in my 3rd bedroom that is their designated potty pad area. I would think if I moved it would be hard to get them used to a different place. I'm sure your baby will adjust just fine! |
we have one in bathroom, dining room, and living room. Theres also two in the garage (they go out the doggie door). |
It really depends on how large your apt is and how many floors but I like the previous poster feel it is hard to change. I would be sure to take one or two with you when you move that your yorkie has peed on and put that down and stay close for awhile until Lexi does pee and then go to the next area you have a pad down. I moved mine once and moved it about 2 inches a day until I got it where I wanted it. :) They get set in their ways but also they are very smart and with a little reward once in awhile for doing it right she'll catch on I'm sure. I never litter trained a dog but many have. I do think that would be easier in a pup rather than one that is used to pee pads but I could be wrong. Someone here will surely give you ideas on it if they haven't already. I always used a flannel back plastic tablecloth under each pad (cut is up in 1/4's) |
i have one outside on my deck, and one inside her bedroom.. i let her outside in the morning and she does potty on the pad on the deck and when im not home , she uses the one in her room. it might take while, but be patient . in the winter months, i hung chimes by the door and she rings them if she wants to go out and do potty. |
