I must be doing something wrong because my 4 lb yorkie can tear these out of the holder and shred the pads to pieces. Anyone else have this problem?

yes my shih tzu did the same thing....they really do look better more than they are good. I just hate having a wee wee pad laying on the floor.

You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing. We're working on it and he has been more cooperative. I make a ridiculously big deal out of any success ( including his favorite yrea, And I tell him how bad he is when he tears things up (clearly for fun). If you can muster the patience, AND you use the right absorbant pads, it does work. Be careful what pad you use, Four Paws WeeWee pads are AWFUL. found some really heavy duty pads made by a small company - look up the name, "Value Pet Supplies." They actually helped me ! the pads they make are far better than others I tried. Good luck. You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing.

My puppies do the same. I purchased the large pad because of two pups, so I have a big mess when they shred it. I just scold them and try to watch them. They don't do it all of the time. Just when they are bored. It is happening less frequently, thank goodness.

You are more than welcome. My little terrorist really has improved with time. He does his best to demonstrate how much he objects to my going out without him - but he's getting there - multiple short trips have helped him trust that I just might come back to him after all. He's a rescue whose "dad" died.

I am so sorry, but (wait for it), my dogs got my papers and shredded them. Before I got to read them. I figured I'd either check Utube or write the manufacturer for more.

My experience with a 70 lb golden and a 65 lb lab is that without a cover the cool pad is very prone to ripping. After having or second pad replaced we finally gave up using the pad. It is a good idea but without a cover the pad simply will not stand up to any normal use. Ours all failed with a couple of weeks.

I have that problem too! What I have done is run hot water over the underside of them and stretch them out while the water is running... But, once they're cold again they pop off...But, sometimes they will stay on...Just not very often... I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems with them. Wish I could find the right sized ones... I have 3 different sized dog and cat food cans..

I have the same problem - but the pad does not come off the wand completely - the pad splits in half within a few seconds of scrubbing the bowl and flops around making further scrubbing impossible. The bottom of the pad remains attached to the wand and the scrubbing portion floats free - retrieving it is messy. I will not buy these again.

I'm sure these are better than puppy pads. They are probably too heavy for this and they are not disposal. Too expensive for puppy pads. They cost me about $10 each.

Yes, I have had 2 come off the same dog. I put them on tight but she plays ruff with the bigger dogs so I'm not sure if they loosen it up or not. The last one she only had on 5 days before it came off and was chewed in a hundred pieces. She is an inside dog When they come off she chews them up. BUT my two big outside dogs have them and have never had a problem with them. I highly recommend them and will try it again for my little girl.

I absolutely do not recommend this to anyone with a chewer. My Coonhound had hers in shreds within a few hours tops and my Dane tore his in half. I returned them both in pieces.

I don't know. I haven't had any problem with them not sticking. I have only been using it a week. there are replacement pads available to order though. I would think new pads would be safer. or perhaps you could try some adhesive tape over them?

Yours may have been defective. I took mine off the holders too, they were also a little hard to get off but came off with a hard tug.

Yes, I had the same problem with the little dog. Eventually just put a piece of Velcro to keep in place.

one of my 4 dogs is a chewer and totally destroyed it. It did take him a while, but - yes, it is not impossible.

I use then for two small dogs - a Chihuahua and a Pommy. Have not had any problem with tearing or leakage. Of course the pad needs to be changed regularly, daily actually, otherwise there would be a problem. But when used normally they are absolutely fine.

What I do is spray the pads lightly with the " Bitter Apple spray " that you can get in a pet smart ot pet co, or here on Amazon, and your dog will never shred the pad when it's on the pad holder again. The Holder is great.

Judy,I wish I could help you but I had no success with the suspenders I bought for my 8 lb. Yorkie. After a struggle to adjust and get them on him, he would just shake the booties off anyway. I gave up after 5-6 tries.

So far, I have not had that problem. I use the larger wee pad and just lay it on top. However, my dogs are adults and don't have the tendency to shred paper. I don't know what a busy puppy may do.

I have never tried to pull the pads apart, but I would say they do not pull apart. If you want a smaller pad, I would suggest cutting them into smaller squares.I hope my answer was helpful.
