Dog Health Questions Can I leave a pee pad in the puppy pen

I just got a 12 weeks maltese. He has used pee pads few times, but still pees on the carpet or in his play pen sometimes. My husband told me to leave the pad inside the pen, but I read that the pee pads shouldnt be left inside the play pen on some dog training websites. It didnt say the reason.
Does anybody know why I shouldnt do that or can I just do it?
Thanks!

Recommended Answer:
Potty pads are fine in the play pen as long as it is on the opposite side from there bed, food and water. I believe the reason for not putting the potty pads in the play pen is because you should keep their living area separate so they dont associate it with where to do their business. For the potty training you can get them on a schedule. Usually right after a nap they will want to go, you pretty much have to stalk them =] when potty training. You should also place them on the pad about 30 min after eating once you get them used to that routine they will start doing it on there own its pretty neat.

• What anal retentive idiot advocates that? The dog is PENNED. Whats he supposed to do? Call out to you:
  
  "Ewww, DAAAHLING....I say....I dew need to MAKE STOOL...would you be sew kind as to tether me to a leash and take me outside, luvvie?"
  
  If you can get the dog to hit the pad, thats good. Hell associate peeing with the pad. Thats DOUBLY good in the midst of a snowstorm.
  
  These people who dont like the pee pads around are dealing with mastiffs who should get out of the habit of pissing in the house. Little dogs, some of them, can even be litter box trained. In fact, that high end Hammacher Schlemmer store sells an indoor poop/pee facility for dogs, which they advertise as "great for apartments!"
  
  


• They suggest to not leave pee pads in with a dog unattended because they may eat it.
  
  Then you might have a high vet bill for blockage.
  
  I have seen too many dogs die or be ill from people laying things out for there dogs to eat.
  
  The puppy should be in a small- size appropriate crate.
