How To Properly Use A Dog Pee Pad
Below are some tips on how to use a puppy pee pad for potty training purposes.
1. Place your dog on the pee pad several times throughout the day.
2. If your pet begins to go potty, say, “go potty” (or some other cue) to help them relate the command with the action.
3. If your pet goes potty somewhere besides the pad, bring them back to the pee pad immediately. (Check out these pet-friendly cleaners or odor removers to clean up the mess. Find the exact spot with a UV flashlight.)
4. When your dog uses the pee pad, reward them by giving them lots of attention or offering a treat. This will help them know they’re doing something right.
5. Once a pee pad is soiled you should dispose of and replace it.
6. After your dog is consistently relieving themselves on the pee pad, begin moving it closer to the door. This helps them associate going to the door when they need to go potty.
7. Repeat step 6 until you can move the pee pad outside. Once the dog goes potty outside consistently, you have successfully potty trained them.
