I would get the potty patch and get the big one. It gives them more room to potty. The pet Zoom holds the urine and doesn't let the grass drain. Put it where the dog pees. Also with the potty patch I put pads between the tray ins the grate. Hope this helps!

My 16 lb cocker spaniel can move it all around the laminate floor. It's great for the little pup we have but if I put the cocker in with her she moves it across the room and out of shape. I would think if she moved it into the right configuration, she could knock it over:)

We kept taking him to it, especially after he went potty. He figured it out pretty quickly and started using it. Then I would reward him with a treat whenever he did use it.

It isn't as much the age, and the teachability. Sounds like she's upset and confused with the new surroundings. I would say, yes, get it. It might be a relief for both of you. The box shown is good for a small dog, they have a larger square shaped box with high sides that I use for my 2 boys (Pom). One lifts his leg, but that wouldn't be a problem with a female. Also, I don't use the grass, I use puppy pads. Not that you shouldn't use the grass - I just suggest it as another alternative. The boxes are well built, light weight, and very easy to clean. Hope this helps.

I have a small rat terrier. She uses the pads to pee on probably four times a day. So I usually use two pads each day. I also walk her a couple of times a day and then she pees outside. She is 6 years old and I have just recently trained her to use the pads. Never too old to learn.

My Calico won't pee in the litter box either (over 2 years now). She is very old (18) and I think that she had painful poops and associates the little box with pain. I put puppy pee pads out side the little box and under the bath room rugs (where she like to go) I am also going to try washable pee pads to see if they work. If there are not rugs for her to pee on - she will pee on the living room carpet! Best of luck.

One of my dogs has arthritis and seems to manage this bed, though carefully, and as long as he goes from a long side. The protruding legs tripped him up when we first got one. That may also be a factor of age. He is 75# and 14+ years old. He does take an anti-inflammatory for his arthritis.

My old dog has hard time controlling a bowel movement so I can't say that it deters anything. Diaper always contains the bowel content.l

No, not at all. Could be your dog got into something? Might want to check his teeth, Make sure no plaque or tartar buildup, I recommend Plaq clnz gel.

I forgot to mention - if there has been repeated urination/heavy volume in this area, it would be a good idea to inspect under the padding as well, in case it has soaked through. You may have to treat the wood floor underneath.

Mine doesn't play but he will get mad a push the ball to feed himself. I just rolled it a few times so he saw and smelled the food coming out of it.

My 75 lb lab doesn't go speeding thru, sometimes he has a quick step if he rushes thru. Also the door is raised a bit so dogs will have to step up, think dogs will naturally adapt to how & what speed they go thru. I love the 2 flaps, less flimsy & more durable.

It helps to keep the pee on the pad and off the floor around it. You might have to put one side on at a time untill he gets use to using it with the sides on. How ever if your dog is marking you might want to try a male wrap VETS BEST I found works the best and is most comfortable for the dog. Also notice when he is going it sometimes it is seperation anxiety I have to put one on my dog if I leave for a short time he even seems to have anxiety when I go downstairs to do laundry other then that he could be marking if you have other pets or females he may be marking his territory if needed you can also use feminine panty shields inside the wrap in case of accident.--------Good Luck hope this helps

My little dog cannot get in the box (Italian greyhound). My border collie could, but I wedged it with the hole to the wall in a corner and the vacuum cleaner next to it. The reach into the hole is too far for him to stretch in there. It is working. Of course, he will not dig the box out of the corner as some more tenacious large dogs might do.Why are dogs so nasty anyway about eating cat poop!?!?! Bleh!!!

I trained my now 10 year old dog to do this at about 7 years old. It sounds gross but when he peed outside I soaked some of his pee on a paper towel and swabbed it in the ugodog. Then when I knew it was about time for him to pee, I would take him to the ugodog and say, "go pee pee" which is what I used to say to him outside when he would pee. And then I would give him treats when he would pee on the ugodog. He's been really great about it ever since.

Nope, I got my dog when she was 6 months and she was ok on her own until the dreaded chewing of cords etc. So I started crating her, she learned to crate surf so you may need to put a mat or something under the crate (I use a bath mat that has a a rubber no slip backside) it put an end to finding her in the crate in the middle of the room, LOL. THey also say for every month the dog is they can go an hour of holding it. But I wouldn't like to wait 12 hours every day to go pee so I am sure even though my dog can hold it she wouldn't like to either, but if you have no choice it comes down to what makes a safe environment for your pet and your house when you are not home. Good luck!

I honestly don't know as my puppy usually doesn't go to the bathroom when I am gone. She did use the puppy pad in there once and there was no mess. She also did spill her water and it didn't go through, however it was close to a puppy pad and most of it seemed to soak up with that, so I haven't had that happen I can't honestly answer 100%, hope this was of some help.
