UGH! you so reminded me of a tough part of this I forgot about! For a spell he was two wee pad fellow, using one for poop the other for pee. It did not last long but was annoying as the pads are not cheap. I finally realized its a bit cheaper when I bought larger ones and cut them in half.
The enclosed box thing never worked for but my mom has had success with her yorkie with a closed in cat litter box. Good luck! with all your attention and big praise he'll get it! best, michelle and henry in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, NY -----Original Message----- From: toshia nicholson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, 4 Nov 2007 10:26 pm Subject: [Chihuahuas] Re:Housebreaking A Puppy Hi, I'm working on this topic as we speak.? I am having about 50/50 luck with it.? Until he learns to use the potty pad he is staying in the bathroom while we're gone to work and at night when we're asleep.? Sometimes when we go to let him out he has used the pad and other times he hasn't.? When he hasn't I'll take him out?to a pen?and he'll go.? Also if he has peed on the pad he'll poop somewhere else and vice versa.? I don't know what to do about this.? I've never used the pads before.? The last puppy I had, (which was 13 yrs ago), I used news paper and she always did both on it and was consistant.? I needed something easier to clean up so that's why I chose the pad.? I eventually want to to get him a box or something I can conseal for him to use as his potty area in the house so I can leave him loose instead of cooped up in a bathroom all day.? Any suggestions for me would also be helpful. ? Toshia & Tater Tot __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
