Puppy Pads

These are without doubt the best puppy pads we've ever had in store.
In fact, we no longer stock any other brands.

• Leak proof edges protect your floor from wetness.
• Super absorbent polymer turns liquid into gel, locking wetness into the pad.
• Thick top layer prevents rips and tears.
  
• Scent control delivers a long-lasting clean scent.
• "Go here" scent attracts dogs to "go" on the pad -
  this is particularly effective with male dogs, and eliminates the need for pheromone attractants like Puppi-Trainer drops.

How to Toilet train your Puppy with Puppy Pad

• Training your dog to use a potty pad is a fairly simple idea in itself. When dog training began over 50 years ago, owners were "paper training" their dogs to potty on newspaper, and then eventually were transferring it outside. To train a dog to use a potty pad is a very similar idea. Owners must simply reinforce enough times on the potty pad and condition the dog that this is the place where it is to potty. But its not always that simple and I often hear clients complain that the pooch isn't hitting the potty pad, or is using other areas of the house as well.

• Make Sure the Potty Pad is a distinct area for the puppy to go on!

  Many companies make trays to hold the potty pad in place so its more distinct. When you look at the potty pad itself, there isn't much difference between peeing on the pad and peeing on the wee little corner of the pad and onto the carpet. Using a potty pad tray or holder will help the pet distinguish the difference. I would even go so far as to put the potty pad in a litter box or in an exercise pen so there is no chance of the pet learning to pee on a corner of the pad.

• Find a location for the potty pad
  

  The most important thing is to never use potty pads in a crate. Often times owners think that by putting a potty pad on one side of a crate and a blanket on the other side, they will be training their dog to use the potty pad. Unfortunately, this is also teaching the dog a very bad lesson: to potty in their sleeping area. Instead, it is better to set up
  a separate potty area for the dog so that the dog knows there is a separation between where it sleeps and where it goes pee. Again, using an exercise pen and putting several potty pads close together in the area helps the pet to distinguish this as a "potty area."

  Try and locate multiple potty pads in areas where the dog has access. Don't put it in a small corner of the house and expect your puppy is going to hit its mark.

• Don't let the puppy make mistakes. Just as with any kind of potty training, you should put the dog onto a schedule so that you know exactly when it will have to pee or poop. Once you establish this, you can easily make it so that there are set times that you take your puppy to the potty pad. You have to establish an association between having to potty and where they should go (i.e. the potty pad). This may mean that every two hours you are putting your puppy on the pad. The more you put your puppy on the potty pad, the less chance of mistakes there will be.
