Tracking pee - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My little guy Teddy is pad trained. I have his washable pads in a dog litterbox. I noticed the other day that the carpet has little pee stains where he walks out of the box and steps on the carpet. I do have an old rubber bed pad from when my boys were little underneath the box and about 6" out from the front. I thought this would help, but it doesn't (not to mention it doesn't look too nice). Anyone else have this and know of a solution?

TIA

I noticed that happening at my house too - I took a washable pee pad and stuck it under the edge of the one she uses. I think its from the dripping on the long hair, so trimmed up her hair in that area and does seem to help.

Keeping on top of sanitary trims helps minimize any dribbles. ZoE also has a large potty area and usually goes in the middle of it, so she has a few steps before she walks off it.

Same thing happens, with Riley!!

And, then I have caught him a few times with one leg out and the other lifted and going peepee....shooting it in the box....instead of jumping in the box..... a couples times he did it from the side that is a little higher so the peepee hit the side of the box and bounced to right outside of it.

He only does that when I am not watching.......!!
