Q. How do I get my puppy to use the Puppy Housebreaking Pads?

A. The pads are treated with pheromones to give off a scent only a dog can detect. The scent is designed to help attract dogs to the pads. We suggest keeping the pad away from the puppy's bed and food. Place the pad on the floor with the plastic side down. Place the puppy on the pad so s/he will recognize the scent. Be sure to keep a clean pad on the floor continuously so your puppy will know where to go. If your puppy relieves itself elsewhere, bring it back to the pad right away.
