Question

Me with brady
My dog Brady is a year old, he is a chorkie, he's adorable....
The problem is he urinates on the pad, never misses, but when he has a BM, he very seldom gets it on the pad, what gives you think?

Answer
Kim,
are you training him outside too?  I had the same problem.  I noticed if they urinated on the pad they wouldn't poop on it.  Or they would poop half on it..  So I put down 3 pads with a little space in between and that helped a lot.  Also, that can be expensive, so I got the washable pads, from Ebay, initially expensive, but soooo easy to wash and if they poop, you just pick that up and throw it away and then wash the mat in bleach.
