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.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! 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 Boop by Petco to address your concern. This is likely behavioral and will correct over time. One product that I recommend for people is something called Fresh Patch, which is a patch of grass delivered to your house every month. I've had great success getting puppies to use the patch of grass and find that they become potty trained rather quickly. 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 Boop by Petco. 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.
