The cheapest way to get pads is to purchase the bed pads for humans at Costco or Sam's Wholesale. They are bigger and you get a lot more for your money too.

What is the grass thing? I will check out the bed pads too.

I buy mine from Walmart! (36 pads for about $8) Also, buy a cat litter tray there too, it's about $3. Fold the pad in half and put it in there. Sometimes when they are training, they miss the pad, and that's a big mess for you. They are overpriced at petco/petsmart. I just heard here on YT that Sham Wow pads work great, they are so absorbent that the pee doesn't even go through. I would assume beware of imitators (haha),, they may not be as good. Then you can wash them, less for the landfill.

We teach Delilah to go outdoors but since she's so young, when we leave, she has to have some place to go. So we leave her with the pee pads. She does great. I would never use the pee pads otherwise.

Suzi is all pee pad trained. There were not any problems for her peeing on the pads even as a little puppy. It took time for her to be trained all the way to poop all the time on the pads. We also live in apartments. Suzi wil go potty outside too. She loves walks, and I never discourage her from not pottying outside. When it is too hot, or rainy, then were inside all day anyway. Pee pads are great!
You can buy them at Wallmart, Target, Costco, juat about anywhere pet products are sold.

I am pleasantly suprised that my two do so well with the pads. They poop and pee on the pad. I only allow them in three areas of my house. If they manage to get to an area they arent allowed in (i dont have pads in those rooms) then they will have accidents but it is VERY VERY rare that they have an accident in the allowed areas with pads in them. I have been starting to take the outside though. My hubby wants the housebroken, pad trained isnt good enough for him. But they do really great as long as the pads are around.

Omg, Thank you, I am so glad Walmart has them, I only have walmart in my area. Do you throw the pad away after every pee? I will check the sham wow too! Thanks again!!

[Darlene68]

Are you just resticting them to only a few rooms until they are trained? I thought you only needed a pad in one room (the room reserved for the pup, is bed etc)

Molly goes on what is called a Ugo dog ...I bought it online and you place paper in the bottom and then 2 grates fit ontop and when she pee's she doesn't step in it and the poop sits on top and I just flush it..

Heres a link U Go Dog Indoor Dog Potty

At first we had to put paper on top and then kept making the paper area smaller until it was gone...
Best 50.00 I have ever spent...

That looks interesting..I would think the grates would bother their paws. So no pee pad..just paper under the grate? Thanks!

Personal choice. I would like to see three pee's on it before I change it but apparently my Sully is a clean freak and after he pee's he comes to let me know and runs back and forth from me to the pad until I change it and then he resumes what he was doing....

I have three furbabies. Two boys and a girl and their all potty pad trained. They will go outside in the grass if their in the back yard playing but would rather go on the pads. It is possible to train them on the pads only.

Molly has what we call a pee pee dance where she kicks her hinds and then when she poops she runs in circles are the house*L* Its really funny shes done that since she was tiny...

Tucker amazed me. From the time he was a tiny puppy, he used pee pads. He caught on so quickly. We just got back from a long trip. He learned to go out side at the rest areas. He does both now.

Both of my dogs are entirely pee pad trained. It can be done.
