If you're house training a puppy or older dog, Dog Training Pads can really come in handy. Here's all you need to know about these handy housetraining tools.
What Are They?
Disposable Dog Training Pads are approximately 2' x 2' squares of highly absorbent material. They can be used anywhere you want to train your dog and many have attractants - detectable by your dog but not humans - to lead your dog to the pad when nature calls.
How Are They Used?
While the traditional paper training method is still very effective for house training, using training pads can speed up the process and keep messes to a minimum. Simply use training pads in place of the newspaper. Since the pads can be easily moved around, once your dog is accustomed to eliminating on the pads you can keep moving one closer to the door and then eventually outside to lure him into 
relieving himself outdoors. Eventually, you can discontinue using the pads.
They're also great for traveling while you're still house training your dog or where it is inconvenient to walk him outside. People in very hot, cold or rainy climates also use them to house train their dogs completely, rather than take them outside constantly in inclement weather.
Are They Right for My Older Dog?
Dog Training Pad manufacturers make pads specially designed for adult use. These pads are larger than traditional puppy pads and are extremely absorbent. If you have a dog that is incontinent, housebound or too ill or injured to go for walks, adult Dog Training Pads may be the ideal solution.
Where Can I Find Them?
A variety of dog training pads are available online, in pet stores and via mail-order catalogues.
