If you are going to primarily paper train, then you can leave pads in the pen. I actually use the pen set farly small (2 x 4) covered with pads on the bottom and put the pup in their for potty time and as soon as he goes the door opens and he gets the run of the kitchen. Both of my last 2 Malt puppies would move/mess the pen so I crated them when I was not home. If your dog doesn't destroy the pen, you can put water/bed/toys on one end and a pad on the other.

Just a question for those of you who have male dogs and use pads. How do they use them if they lift their leg? Also any suggestions on how to let a older dog who is housebroken know it is ok to go potty on the pads? Or should we stick to outside only?

I don't know about swtiching them to wee wee pads when older, but we have a male who does lift his leg outside but is paper trained and has NEVER lifted his leg inside the home (or marked ever).Originally posted by okw+Apr 15 2005, 01:39 PM--><!--QuoteBegin-dhodina@Apr 15 2005, 10:30 AM

What do you think about putting him outside on the pad, then slowly moving it inside?

I guess I use my pen in the opposite way.... it is where Catcher eats and plays when I can't watch him since I don't have a puppy safe room. (If the room has walls it is not safe from him.... he chews everything!) So, after he is in there a while, I take him to his potty area.....

That sounds like a great idea to me...... I'd just keep saying the "go potty" a few times when he is on the pad (inside and out)..... he may just need to make sure that is what you mean!!Originally posted by Kallie/Catcher's Mom+Apr 15 2005, 12:55 PM--><!--QuoteBegin-dhodina@Apr 15 2005, 01:54 PM

My little ones who are paper trained pick up a leg, but are never allowed to urinate on verticle surfaces so we don't have a problem with them missing the papers.
You can put a 2 liter soda bottle filled with water in the middle of the pad and tape a pad around that.
