Anytime You give affection, you re-inforce the behaviour that proceded it.

Love should be used to reward a balanced dog.    ~ Cesar Millan

I found this article on toilet training your puppy

We often find pups who have used the pads don’t distinguish between mats and training pads when they visit somewhere else.   We have always recommended news paper and moved it closer to the door  until they then always go out side to wee/ poo when training pups and this has worked for us. Another idea is the Asto turf which is great for puppy’s living in apartments.  Have a read and share your thoughts with us.
