    Puppy pads are very confusing to dogs and puppies. You are allowing him to pee in the house, and on top of something, he can't differentiate between a pee pad and a piece of carpet or anywhere else in the house. When pee pads are used the puppy never really understands why it is okay to eliminate inside sometimes, but not always. Why can it pee on this piece of cloth, but not that one? Why pee here, but not there?

    Truthfully unless you want a dog to eliminate indoors all the time, they do not work and should not be used with pups older than eight weeks of age.

    The best way to train a puppy for house training is the crate method. The crate is not used as a punishment, but rather as a den. The puppy does not want to mess in its den so is taken outside several times a day. As it gets older it can hold its bladder and bowls longer and longer (also better food means less poop).
