Potty training a new puppy can be overwhelming and there are so many different strategies to choose from. One option is using puppy pee pads to help contain the mess and teach your new puppy not to go anywhere in your home.
Puppy pee pads are absorbent pads that are often placed on the floor, in crates or on any surface puppies have claimed as their own to urinate on. They are commonly used as a convenient indoor option for potty training puppies, especially for city folks who live in apartments and don’t have convenient access to an outdoor area. These pads are waterproof and contain your puppy’s mess to one single area.
Using training pads is a convenient option for many people. They can be placed in an easily accessible area so your pup knows where to go when they need to go!
Puppy pee pads are especially helpful for people living in high rise apartments and those who don’t have easy access to a backyard. You’ll avoid constantly rushing down the elevator and to the nearest grass patch so your dog can go.
No one likes to spend their days cleaning up after their puppy’s messes! Potty pads absorb your pup’s urine quickly, making it easy to clean. The pad can easily be thrown away, or opt for an option better for the environment and use a reusable pad that can be tossed into the wash once used. This helps prevent unwanted messes on your carpets or furniture.
Puppy pee pads are a great option for new puppies who are not fully potty trained and they also work for older dogs who may have difficulty holding their bladder for extended periods of time. Or for dogs who are sick and need a little extra support.
If your pup is praised one day for using the pee pad and then scolded the next for having an accident on the bath mat, they might become confused about where to go.
It can become difficult to train your new pup to go outside once they’ve become accustomed to using the potty pads. They’ll be used to seeing the pee pad and may not understand that peeing on the grass is okay too. Little Dog Tips has a great resource for transitioning from pads to outside without accidents.
Disposable pee pads can add a lot of waste to your household. Plus, they’re another item that you’ll need to consistently add to your weekly shopping list.
PeapodMatsare a reusable option that come in three different sizes. They can be used for up to 500+ washes and offer a variety of uses for our fur babies. This helps reduce household waste and provides a more stylish option than disposable pads.
Overall, there are many ways to train your puppy and you have to find the best option for you. If you find that potty pads are the right choice for you, give PeapodMats a try!
