Ripping up puppy pads!?!? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

dewdrop67 · 05-21-2005, 10:34 AM

Help! I dont know what to do. Roxy and Gibson keep ripping up the puppy pad. They only have started doing this recently! I know its dangerous so Im hoping I can get some advice as to what I could put down instead.

Gizmo started doing that today... he was dragging it across the floor!

There is a plastic case you can put the puppy pads in so they can't drag it around and rip up the edges! I think you can get it at Petco or PetsMart, I can't remember. There was a thread somewhere on here about it

Hope that helps

I think that's it!

OMG! Thank you so much Natalie!

I have been going nuts. I have no idea what to do as far as training. I have two, a male and a female. I have been keeping them in an x-pen and when I come home the puppy pad is shredded all over the place! Of course they haven't peed on it since its ripped into shreds.

In all my years with Yorkies (pleural) I have never been able to use those pads-in frames, out of frames made no difference. I had a major snowstorm every time I walked back into the roo. Newspapers are almost as bad. My solution has been to train to go outside(in nice warm sunny weather; does that tell you how often the go out on the deck?) but inside mostly and always on washable recycled bed pads. I recommend them to any one who buys a puppy from me and even give them a slightly soiled one to get them started.. Life has been a little easier since I made peace with the fact that I have to use those pads....I have the addy for the place I get mine...

I use the frame with my two and it works great to keep them from ripping the pad up. The major problem is they are always pooping on the frame!

Whispesmom2 where did you get them wondering if you could use them washing them would be so much cheaper to.

Thank You

Peanut does the same thing. At first she would use it but now since she is semi-potty trained she diggs at it or drags it across the room!

I can't believe how much money petco and pet manufacturers make from stuff...first, the advent of the wee wee pad. then, the wee wee pad holder. pretty soon, a lock and chain to keep the wee wee pad holder in place...

I take Archie outside. He used to go three times a day (morning, noon and night) but now, he just goes in the morning and the afternoon. I still take him out at night to get him some exercise before bedtime so that he'll sleep through the night. But even if he doesn't, it doesn't matter...he will just go play with his toys in the livingroom.

Jerry has a good 2 layers of newspaper on top of his potty pads. It doesnt seem effect him at all as far as going on them and it has stretched the usage a long ways

Have you looked into the wizdog?

babi1542 · 05-21-2005, 05:44 PM

Whispersmom2 what is the addy to get these pads? Thanks

CC's · 05-21-2005, 06:23 PM

washable pads are the only thing I will use anymore. No more shredded stuff all around. I got mine from www.piddlepads.com
