Indoor pads (or wee-wee pads) have a purpose but house training should not be one of them.
Indoor pads are one of those products that seem like a good idea and great tool to make house training easier but in the long run it does anything but.
Not only does it add more work in the long run but it is possible your pup may never get fully housetrained.
In this episode, I talk about why I strongly discourage the use of indoor pads while housetraining.
If your intention is to eventually teach your puppy to only go outside these pads can be detrimental to this training.
If you plan to use indoor pads indefinitely, I give you a few reasons why that may not be a great idea either.
For some indoor pads are a great option but for most, they are not.
Potty training is a right of passage for any puppy owner. It’s a time-consuming process that can be frustrating at times so it’s only natural for us to grab something that might make it easier. However, I promise you if you put in the work now, it will be worth it in the end.
