That's why I don't use puppy pads after trying them once. A young litter cannot be house trained so your best bet is to have a concrete/non-porous floor and clean often until they are old enough for crate training.

Puppy pads are a waste of money. You need to get in the habit of taking your puppy out on a regular schedule. Over time, he'll learn a habit to signal you that he has to go. My dogs for example will stand by the door and sometimes unfortunately scratch on the door (but it's glass so it doesn't hurt too bad). My sisters dogs just whine at the door. But the regular schedule thing is really important. Not so much like EVERY 2 hours... But make sure they are going out frequently and you should be fine...They will soon learn what to do to show you they have to go. Dogs are smart, they'll learn.

well as much as i agree that they are a waste of money, there are a few situations in which they are needed. in either case..u can try the puppy pads with the sticky edges so they stick down. petstores also sell pad holders so that they cant pick them up and eat them.
u also have to make sure that u walk them on a leash, at bathroom time, to them so they understand they are for potty, not for play.
reward potty on the pad with a treat right away.

Ditch the silly puppy pads and train your dogs to go outside like they are supposed to. You break instinct and teach them to go in the house.. You end up with dogs that think it's fine to go in the house.. Eventually they won't eat the pads or go on them, they'll go where they please.. Teach them to go outside and they will know that you don't go inside cause that's where you live.. Do it right or you'll do it twice.

hmmmm. this actually sounds like a hard issue to solve. i use pee pads for my Pekingese and he's never tried to eat them. Your problem is this: if you punish them for trying to eat the pad, the might just relate the whole pee pad experience to getting punished and they might avoid that whole area now. Honestly, I have no practical tips for you. My puppy was trained on them instantly, like within 1 hour. The only other thing is to start potty training outside. That might be a better, less traumatic experience for them.
