Product Information

By using a potty pad, you can provide your dog with visual reinforcement without having to watch them go potty! This makes your puppy’s potty training easier than ever before. He won’t have any control over where things are going to happen. Ignoring signs that your pet needs to go out is another common potty training mistake to be aware of and avoid.

Make sure that if you have other pets in the house (like cats), they’re not around when your dog is potty training. They may try to chase after him! Currently, I use Carefree bedding on the bottom of the hay tray and hay set on top. Carefree bedding works just as well as the puppy pee pad. The scented pads have a wildflower scent that we found to be very mild and pleasant throughout three months of real-world testing, and the pads were reliable, with no leaks or tears to report. The Glad for Pets training pads also incorporate activated carbon for better smell absorbency. While we didn't see a noticeable improvement in overall absorbency over non-charcoal pads, none of our testers could smell any of the vinegar we used. Our at-home tester preferred the dark coloring of these pads, and they have no complaints after three months of use. Most cats prefer to use a litter box and cat litter to go to the bathroom, but puppy pads can work for cats too. For cats that routinely “miss” the box, pee pads are excellent to use under and around the litter box to keep pee off your floor. Puppy pads can also be used in lieu of litter, either in the box, flat on the ground, or in a pee pad holder. Puppy pads may be helpful for cats that start refusing the box and instead pee on rugs, clothing, or towels.

It helps him understand positive reinforcement and helps you get through any behavioral issues he may have later on in life. You want them to learn where their potty area is without seeing it directly ahead of time every time they use their toilet! This is when your pet becomes habituated to elimination on the floor and associates it with being happy and relaxed rather than going out to do his business. Deal with accidental mess immediately. Potty pads should not be used in any area where there is no extra room around the edges. Similar to the previous question, you can take away the pads whenever necessary. That is when he is not dependent on the pad anymore. Be sure that he will be able to do it properly. Conclusion

You may try playing games like “find it” or “roll over,” which will get him excited about finding something. Reward him with praise or treats when he finds it. These machine washable pads are available in a range of sizes. They can be use in a crate, on the sofa, in the car, on the floor or post-surgery. Starting early with potty training helps you build a stronger bond with him that will last all his life. Frisco Dog Training & Potty Pads are available in a scented or unscented version along with many of the useful features found among our other recommendations, including the inclusion of a pheromone meant to attract your puppy to the pad. They have a similar dry paper margin and leakproof plastic liner as many of our other favorites. If your dog urinates or defecates in the house, you should try to catch it in time so you can clean up the mess.

You will need a small box (about half an inch smaller than the size of your dog’s waste) that you can set on the floor in any room where you want your dog to go potty. Never yell, hit, or shout at him. Otherwise, he may only associate punishment and fear with toileting. FAQs on Potty Pad Use and Training
