Thank you Joan, I will check it out. All of mine are trained already, Even the newbie Caramella. She was so easy compared to Dani. She learned the doggy door in 2 days. Took Dani over a week to finally get it. I put the pads down while I am at work for Ori and Dani. Ori never uses them. Wait for me too come home at lunch. Dani and Caramella use them only. Chassis would only use them in her pen. But she normally won't go in her pen. Smidgen used them allot towards the end due to the medication always made her pee allot.

I think that the adult pads are pretty expensive compared to the puppy pads. If your dogs are already trained for puppy pads, then they may not have a problem. For those just starting to paper train, the puppy pads have a scent that the dog recognizes (although we can't smell it) so you would have to rub a paper towel or something in your dog's urine and smear it on the pad for them to go. There is also a spray that you can use...when I got Dolly they said to spray it in the part of the yard that I wanted her to go potty...she didn't pick that up because she wanted to explore and she would go potty outside...just didn't know enough to ask to go outside when she had to go potty. I bought puppy pads in bulk...now Dolly & Desi go outside more than inside. That is OK with me. When I put one down (actually I have two in the master bathroom, each of mine will go and do a little urine on them - think it is a marking telling the other one that he/she cannot use the other one. You may want to try looking online for incontinent supplies and might come upon a website where nursing homes order from...the price may be a lot less when you buy them in bulk. ________________________________ To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 10:20:56 -0800 Subject: [Chihuahuas] Pads I know allot of you here use puppy pads for your babies as I do. I normally buy my at Wal Mart or Sams club. A friend of mine gave me some Adult pads in a gag gift for my 50th birthday. They are much nicer in size and thickness. She only gave me 4 of them, but I liked them much better. Anyone try them? Have a good source for getting them? I was going to try Amazon first? Beth
