Can these be used in crate/playpen area but not to encourage puppy to pee! Will take puppy outside to wood chips, just as breeder.

My vet recommended training the dog to go outside first. If you try both outside and the pads, the dog will become confused. She told me after a dog is trained to go outside, then use the pads, especially in the winter when the weather is bad. I would not use these as bedding. It will be too confusing for the puppy. I bought one of the fleece beds that fits the crate and sewed a few fleece slipcovers. As a result, my dog finds his crate a comfortable refuge and will sleep in it even when I don't close the door.

From my experience yes, you just need to set three specific times throughout your day to take them outside so they know not to go inside. They will learn over time that the pee pee pads are only for emergency purposes. I've trained two adult dogs and currently training two pups. It takes lots of dedication, and if your having a hard time with dog not peeing on the pads just rub one of the pads with their pee every time and they'll sniff their way every time it never fails. Hope this helps, sorry if I went on a description tangent &#128515;

The pass are of good quality. My female likes to sit on them to stay cool (she's house broken).Regretfully, I've never used a crate. I read that dogs don't like to pee where they sleep, so the pads shouldn't interfere with the training.

I think it would be fine for that purpose! I use them for my Toy Maltese I don't walk her so she uses the pads. If I take her in the back yard she will pee outside. I would try it if I were you it is uncented it shouldn't encourage the dog to go. Good Luck!

We use a pad in an overnight playpen for an emergency need, but our little Maltese is trained enough and sleeps through the night where it is fairly if ever used.

No, for a puppy a piddle pad would be more appropriate to house train him. These belts are made mostly for incontinent dogs. My toy poodle is 18 years old and has become incontinent due to his inability to see and hear and is mostly unable to find the door anymore to go outside. I also believe since he has been wearing the belt to avoid accidents on the wood floor he has become used to it that it is okay to just go in the belt (padded with thick pad). The belt itself is not moisture proof used by itself the urine would flow right through it.

If you are using them in the Kong toy the puppy will have the break it up before he/she can get it out. You will be fine.

No. You will have to purchase puppy pads. puppy pads will cover the area , just be sure to put part of puppy pad outside the pink playpen. I thought it was a great product.

I have two min-pins that were a year old 9/2013. I ordered these for use this past Winter when although they were (sort of) housebroken it was way too cold for them to go outside. (I mean up to -25F) These work much better than wee-wee pads! First, unlike wee-wee pads, if the pups squat close to the edge, the urine does not go past the edge. They get more absorbent with use and the plastic smell also diminishes with washings. Pups seem to like them much more than the wee-wee pads.

I would think that would be easy to train your puppy to find the grate outside and use that spot if that's what the puppy is used to going on inside. I have not done that with any of my dogs but am fairly confident it can be done since dogs are such creatures of habit.

They may work to help dog from slipping if u put the word side down so it works as a gripper but as far as leaving them on for anymore time then a short walk outside you should probably not. Think about putting a ballon on your Dogs feet the part that is the opening is very tight and I think most dogs will try to chew it off. The only way my dog -puppy allows us to put them on is because he knows we will not take him for his outside walk in the rain or snow without this boots but as soon as we get in house he starts to try to chew them off.

Yes and I only know because I've forgot to take it off when I let my dog outside. Some poop gets on the diaper and some was inside it. Not fun. FYI--These diapers must be used with a pad of some kind inside as they are not waterproof.

I would say yes. We kept our Brittany spaniel puppy in here for a few hours at a time when weather was too bad to put him outside. At about 20-25 lbs it was too small for him to do much other than lay down and maybe roll around a little with his toys. I think a toy jack russel will be small enough to make this a better suited "play pen"

I use them on my yorkie and i love them. But if hes a realky big pee'er im not sure as they are not really padded alot. I think the tinkel belt would work better, as you use a maxi pad in them and it is not disposable. You just wash it and reuse and can change the pad as often as you need. I have both, but to give him a break off the tinkle belt, as it can be alittle warmer, and i switch up.

Yes. You can take them off and on so your dog can go outside to potty. You can do this many times

I may not be the best to answer this question because my pup is still potty training so I'm not using the grass yet. I'm just putting pee pads on it so he recognizes where to go. Going to try the grass soon!

Clickers aren't really the right tool for potty training dogs (or children), though I suppose you could click whenever you catch your pup in the act of going where and when you want. The idea is to associate the click with a reward like food, and then to further connect desired behavior with the click. The thing with potty training is that the dog will need to relieve herself at some point. I've heard that crate training is one of the most efficient ways of training a dog to pee/poop at certain times. Other folks swear by paper training.

If it were my puppy, I wouldn't put anything in that the dog might choke on. Why not ask the breeder what s/he recommends.

Again, puppies are natural explorers. I guess I would save this product for when puppy getsto your home.

I'm sorry but I don't know as I've only have my Pet Puppy Dog Playpen for about 2 months. I have washed the bottom twice now and did put it in the drier without any negative consequence.

I suppose that one could mount a food bowl as well as a water bowl in the crate but I wouldn't encourage it. We keep a stainless steel bowl of water mounted in ours. We treat the crate as her bedroom and have set times for feeding outside the crate; that way you can predict when your puppy needs to potty and start training for that.
