I agree with Gale. We never used puppy pads with Jersey. We just took her out a LOT! In my opinion, it is more confusing to use the pads. You teach them it's OK to go inside and then have to break them of that to teach them to go outside. It's a lot of work at first, but in the long run it's worth it. Can't wait to hear all about your new puppy! We love pictures around here!

They are so adorable! Make sure to introduce them and yourself in the Introduce Yourself forum. Two puppies...you're going to have your hands full! Remember patience, patience and more patience (times two!)!

A belated

to BW to you, Charlie & Lucky! They are just precious - I can absolutely see how you couldn't walk away without both of them. I will have to leave puppy/crate advice to others (I have an almost 13 year old rescue who came to me after the puppy stage) but looking forward to hearing all about your pups homecoming and adventures.

Welcome to BW!!

It took my a while to completely housebreak my Chloe. I didn't crate train her, problem with the horrible Beagle cry and the building management!!!! I now have her completely housebroken for a few good months. I used the puppy pads, as I live on the 6th floor. Chloe will not pee/poop inside or on the pads, unles I'm gone for more than she can hold it and only then goes on it. I also don't lay them out but when I'm out for work. I think I wouldn't have still use them unless I would be out for so long during the day. But it's a good alternative if you don't have any other, and I didn't have anyone to come in mid-day to take her out.
