Those who use puppy training pads which brand do you use? We use the PetSmart economy puppy pads and were just curious if there are any better out there. How long does it usually take a puppy to learn that's where he does his business at? During the day when his crate is in the living room, he seems to be able to poo on the pad but peeing is hit and miss, 2 days ago, all but one hit the pad, I rewarded him the other 4 times and was so proud. I changed the pad and yesterday he went about half the time, one time really disappointed me. I new it was about time so I got on the ground by the puppy pad, with treat in hand ready. I called him name and showed him the pad, he seemed more interested in playing, so I thought he didnt need to go. I looked away for a moment to set the treat down and I looked back at him and he was peeing on the carpet, no where near the pad. Just 2-3 seconds from when I showed him the pad. I reward him with a treat every time he goes on the pad during the day that I'm around. At night, he sleeps in the 2nd bedroom. We have a confinement area set up. It's a ~36sq ft plastic fence. I've lined the bottom with newspaper and we have a puppy pad in there also. He peed on the pad 3 times and only missed once. However he didn't poo on the pad, he pooed on the newspaper. Another question is.. he whimpers and whines during the night and when he hears us opening the bedroom door he goes full force yelping and whining. It's very loud and irritating. I do my best to ignore it but it gets difficult. We don't want him sleeping in our room until he can go all night without using the restroom and yelping and whining, waking us up throughout the night. Also, we have him plenty of toys, 2 squeak toys, 2 tug and pull toys, 2 stuffed toys, and a rattle toy. He seems to want to play with me and my wife than his toys and he plays rough at times.. biting and nipping. We tell him "no bite" and give him a toy, but he doesn't seem to be interested. I just wish he'd spend more time with his toys and become less dependant on us. I'm on vacation this week but next week, we're going to have to leave him during the day, in his confinement area. Any tips, tricks, etc would be GREATLY appreciated.
