All Absorb or Four Paws training pads are excellent pads. Both are very absorbent and have a protective layer to minimize or eliminate messes or staining. This is my own opinion. You may be able to purchase them at your local Petco or at www.petco.com.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I honestly would recommend using Fresh Patch. I've had so many clients have success stories with potty training their puppy because of this product. It is basically a patch of grass that you order online that comes in a cardboard box that auto-ships to you to replace the used one. I would look into this and try it out to see if it helps more than the puppy pad. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

He's probably trying to keep the area clean. You may want to look into getting a raised area for him to urinate if you are going to continue to use potty pads indoors: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/the-pet-loo-indoor-yard-training-system-for-dogs-and-cats

Firstly, do not get a one month old puppy. Puppies should not be weaned until 8 weeks of age (2 months). Getting a puppy that has been weaned too early is a very bad idea. Honestly, for a first dog, you are better off getting an adult. Have you not considered adopting a dog from a shelter? It is cruel to make a dog only use pee pads because you don't want to scoop poop from the yard. Dogs are meant to go outside, smell the grass, mark their territory, etc. Those are natural behaviors that dogs need to do. A dog is not an accessory meant to do only what we want it to do. It is a living, breathing being that has needs that must be met. I don't mean to sound harsh but it does not sound like a dog is good for your lifestyle. Smelling dog urine and feces over a long period of time would not be good for your respiratory health. That is true.
