My puppy's pee pads aren't working. Which are most absorbent?

Thanks for using PetCoach! She is also adorable!!!! The best way is getting the training pads with the training spray which is basically something that she smells and encourages her to use the pad. It is crucial to praise them and even better giving them treats when they use the pad so they learn that is the desired action. If you remain consistent, she will learn in no time. See a link below for the training spray. You can get the pads anywhere. Best of luck! https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/poochpads-potty-training-attractant-spray-16-fl-oz-2441900?store_code=&cm_mmc=PLA-GG-_-PTC_P_SUP_PLA-GG_FY19_SBU04_Dog_Supplies_Clean_Up-_-70412745820-_-A&kpid=go_1843231365_70412745820_346116873993_pla-720766045602_m&utm_config=tad0iunwp&utm_campaign=PTC_P_SUP_PLA-GG_FY19_SBU04_Dog_Supplies_Clean_Up&utm_source=google&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz4K79K774wIVT_DACh1uGgCwEAQYASABEgIJk_D_BwE

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If the puppy pads do not work, I would recommend a product called Fresh Patch, which you can order online. I have found that potty training is much more successful with this product. 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.

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.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Some pet stores do sell liners for female diapers and belly bands. However, some of these are a little expensive. You can try your local wholesale retailer (like a Sam's Club or Costco) for generic sanitary pads for women than may fit nicely and work well.

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not an uncommom issue. I recommend that you try the training pad spray that you put on the pad. This would help your pup identify the right place to do her business. You can get this at your local pet store. Given that she learned how to let you guys know when she wants to go outside, she is for sure very smart so I'm sure she will learn this as well. Try to keep the blankets off the flour at least for now while she learns. Remember to praise and reward her when you notice the desired behavior. Good luck!

The difficulty with pee pads is when dogs have their front feet on it, they think they are good and don't realize their back part isn't on it! You can buy plastic "trays" to put the pads on that has them step up onto it and then they typically are more likely to put all four feet up on it. Good luck!

I would recommend against puppy training pads. Sometimes when you train them on puppy training pads as they age then still urinate in the house on paper when you want them to go outside. If you plan on taking Raven outside to go to the bathroom I would recommend starting to do it now. Raven is so very young that he will not be trained for a few months. Don't stress, it will happen. I would recommend crate training: Many people state that crate training is cruel but a crate is a safe haven for your puppy and many dogs use it as a place to rest and recovery after a long day. This method is extremely effective when house training and helps when you cannot watch Raven. You must choose a crate that Raven can stand up, sit down and turn around. Getting a crate bigger then this can lead Raven to urinate or defecate on one side of the crate while sleeping on the other side. A crate should only create a positive environment. Never use the crate for punishment. Despite what many people think do not line the crate with blankets or beds. The reason is Raven can urinate on the blankets and beds which can soak up the urine and he can bury the stool. Keeping Raven in the crate when you cannot keep 100% eye on him is important. Every time you take him out of the crate take him on a walk to make sure they go to the bathroom and give positive reinforcement if he does. If they do not eliminate while you are outside or on the puppy pad then put Raven back in the crate for another 20minutes. After 20 minutes take him out once again to try. If Raven does go to the bathroom make sure you take time to play with him and when you have to turn your back again put them back in the crate. If you catch him having an accident in the house tell Raven no and then take him outside or to the puppy pad and praise him if he goes. If you just find the accident, clean it up and don't say anything. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
