Calling all folks who've used piddle pads.

[Sevaede]

Does she have a favorite spot or just anywhere when she's out? Hyzzie was horrible to pad train because she was mostly ferral when I got her and used to peeing anywhere the urge hit her. She also has a tinn y blader and scared of the dark so needed a pad for during the night.

It took longer than it should have to train her because I got a job that took me away from home a lot just as she was getting it. I use washable pee pads they are THE BEST. You can buy an atractant for the pad if needed. Pua even uses pee pads. I put them where ever she choose to pee and we are now down to two favorite spots, in her crate and in my closet.

With the dogs I had tp put the pad in a big shallow tray(fridge tray I think from home depot) so they wouldn't wander off midd poop or pee. You may need a pad in a favored spot in the other room then slowly move it to where you want it.

The mothode you mention trying is said to work good though. All miner were adults when I started. Really though even most exotic owners swear by the washable pads but not all. If she prefers newspaper you can go with that then once she has it good try switching to what you prefer if it's that important. Some animals just have a preference of pad/litter and you just have to give them that.

My bridge dog Goldie was trained to go outside so would never have trained to pads but then at her max she was taking 8 walks a day. Not to pee she just loved walks.

No, no favourite spots really.

Thank you for the suggestions! I will definitely try out that box idea.

The box idea worked for my step son and his min pin. It makes a defined area. ( as stated above)

Yes, I understand this. Thank you.

I will definitely be trying it out (as stated above, as well).

The wandering into another room thing makes me think she's "ashamed" to potty in front of you. What do you do when you find her "accidents"?

I take her with me and use a piece of tp to wipe up the piddle. I say in a stern (but level) voice "we do *not* potty here" I take her to her piddle pad and set the soiled tp on the pad and put her next to it and tell her "This is where you potty." and then I repeat potty a couple of times and tell her "That is a good girl! You're such a good girl, Spanky!" in an enthusiastic voice.
