Will a puppy typically use the same training pad more than once2007-11-25 2:56:33

My Pug will pee in one small area on the pad and won't use it again anywhere else on the pad? I'm glad he's using the pads, but they're a little expensive to be throwing away each time there is a little bit of pee on it?

Answers:

its okay to use them more than once! it will direct your doggie to the right place again with less confusion too :)

Yes, they will use a pee pad more than once, keep in mind that the reason they are attracted to a pee pad is because they are impregnated with dog urine to begin with. If your pug is being trained to go to the bathroom in one specific place they will learn to do duty on the same pad. One of our little pugs that was a rescue could pee about ten times in a 2 hour period (because of previous under-nourishment) as your puppy gets a little more familiar with where it is suppose to go and you keep at it, he will get the idea.

Skip the pads and train him to pee outside. Use a crate for training if you will be gone for a few hours. You are not only wasting money, you are wasting time. Train the dog to ask to go out and pee in the grass. The person who invented these pee pads is an idiot IMO.

Why train the dog twice? Just train him right the first time. It's very confusing to a dog to be trained to pee inside in this spot then train him that it's no longer allowed to pee inside...

Toss the pads and go outside where ALL dogs should eliminate.
