Artificial Grass Puppy Pee Pad for Dogs and Small Pets - 20x25 Reusable 3-Layer Training Potty Pad with Tray - Dog Housebreaking Supplies by PETMAKER, Green

Highly recommended for puppy training. My pups come to work with me and it helps keep them clean. I use a puppy pad under the grass surface to help with the cleaning. They took to it straight away and has been a game changer in toilet training when the weather isn't the best

My pup has this in one end of her pen and used it straight away, she will go out to toilet on the grass in the garden too, so far she has had no accidents anywhere in the house. I also purchased spare mats so I could wash them off and allow to dry

Dog just thought it was something to chew

The quality of the fake grass is not great, it sheds ALOT, my puppy occasionally used it but if I am looking solely at the product on it's own I would say it's not the best. I put puppy pads underneath the grass to absorb the pee otherwise its really hard to tip the pee out and I think it keeps it a little bit cleaner. Overall, it hasn't affected my puppy in terms of toilet training so therefore it wasn't worth it for me.

If only I could rate it ZERO stars!!!

My puppies couldn’t use disposable puppy pads as they’d rip them up and wee elsewhere. They took to the grass one right away and stopped accidents in the house when we’re not there

My dog literally just lays on it like another dog bed so it's a no for me

I absolutely loved the idea of this as we have balcony access but the pee doesn’t go through the wholes as you can see. So when my dog stands on it he gets wet paws and leaves wee paw prints everywhere.

Decent quality, arrived on time, all parts as listed. Happy with purchase

So long story short... I had a Yorkie who lov d to be almost 18 and was actually still super spunky but her kidneys shut down. I just so happened to find a puppy that was conceived the same week I had to say goodbye. She is now 8 months old and potty training has been a struggle. She is smart and stubborn. We have been training her to go both on this grass potty pad and the grass outside and it is definitely helping. Her crate ( a.k.a. the puppy condo) stays clean now. Now we are just working on getting her to go in there and use it when she's running free while we are home. The reason though, I think finding this was a blessing is because because I'm older and wiser this go around and realize that a dog shouldn't have to hold their bladder as long as my previous little girl did. She was so good and never had accidents until she couldn't help it anymore. I was 16 years old and none the wiser about being away for too long. Now I have the comfort in knowing that my new pup will be able to do her thing whenever sh needs to once we get this perfected.

It's a great short term product when getting a puppy. Puppies need to go pee every hour/ couple hours at first so it serves well for the first 6 month / year until the puppy is able to hold it for a longer period of time.

For reference, I bought this for Reese, my five month old six lb. Chorkie and placed it on my back patio. Previously, we have been taking her out the front door to the grass on a leash. This is so we can just let her out on the gated patio and not have suit up to go out in the cold at all hours of the night. By the way, my puppy seems to be ultra smart. She learns very quickly and is eager to please. She already has us well trained, lol. Day one: I put some turds on it and when she went out she put her front paws on the mat and peed on the concrete. I soaked up the pee with a paper towel and squeezed it on the mat (wearing rubber gloves) and gave her praise. I later discovered you can just pick up the faux grass and pat the puddle with it, much easier! She later pooped on the patio and I moved the poop to the mat again praising her for going potty on the patio (and not inside the house). Day two: She peed on the mat for Daddy, but every time Mommy lets her out she holds her pee and will only poop on the patio, but not on the faux grass. I removed the old piles of poop that I placed on the grass, just in case she needs the space. Remember that prior to this, she only went potty out the front door on a leash in the grass. So this is a totally new and probably confusing concept to her, as this is the back door, no leash, Mommy and Daddy are inside and the grass is fake. Day three: She peed and pooped on the patio, but not on the faux grass. We are at this point pretty happy that she is confident going on the patio. We can hose it off. One thing to note is that she saw me cleaning up the poop and spraying the pee and washing it. I think this confused her, because she has seen me in the past clean her accidents inside the house, after having scolded her. So I think when she saw me cleaning her patio messes she might have thought she did bad. I would suggest cleaning it when they are not looking. Day four: No pee pees on the faux grass yet. Maybe when Daddy gets home he can get her to go. Maybe I give up too quickly. I take her out the front door if she doesn't perform out back. I'm just afraid that if I don't, she will go in my new house and I love that new house smell. Day five: She is pottying on the back porch, one time next to the mat, but most of the time nowhere close to it. We have a new problem, for some reason, she now squats and pees on the indoor house carpet right in front of me when I ask her to roll over! I have no idea where this came from, as she absolutely loved rolling over for treats. I think all of this has just really confused her. I'm going to go on YouTube and see if there are any videos showing tips on how to get them to pee on a pad. (No tips found). Day six: Today we got a poop that landed on the pad. She backed up to it and did her business. Technically only half the turd landed on the grass, but it was time for a poopy party! We celebrated her accomplishment. The rest of the day, she did her business on the back patio, but not on the grass. Thankfully she is back to rolling over and not thinking it means to squat and pee. We just make sure to let her out to potty before doing inside tricks (which she loves doing). Day seven: We got a pee on the faux grass! Just one, but we are seeing progress, so we are happy. We let her out onto the porch and watch from inside, no coaxing or trying to direct her to the pad (it's too cold outside for that). So we are hoping that she will gravitate to that pad on her own. Day eight: The last five peepee's have been on the pad!!!! The poopoo's are landing closer too. Day nine: I'm so please to report that Reesie now runs straight for the faux grass to do ALL of her peepee!!! Her poos are still landing elsewhere on the porch, but I'm okay with that because they are easier to clean, especially now that it's 15 degrees outside (think poop sickles)! Let me reiterate that I have done no coaxing toward the grass, I just patted her initial puddles with the pad to get her smell on it. I then gave treats and praise for going outside, with extra praise for going on the pad. I am removing the poo now from the patio and placing the freshest batch on the pad. We may still buy a second one, for extra space and to take on vacation with us (we stay at beach condos/houses and would probably transport it in the bed of our truck as I'm sure it smells like pee). I saw a video on YouTube where they placed two just outside the door and gated the area to include only the pads, so the puppy had no choice but to go on the pad! Excellent idea! I'm upgrading my review to five stars!!!!! This thing is SO WORTH IT!!!! Especially now that it's 15 degrees outside!!!! I will update when the poo starts landing on the grass. SMELL: As far as smell goes, there is none, it's too cold for that, all pee pee is turning to ice in the bottom tray and I just discard the p'ice.

Pros: When dog was puppy she used this immediately I didn't have to try to encourage it - it was instant Medium size is good but I suggest purchasing two and pushing them together because my chihuahua likes to have enough room to circle before she pees or poops There's a three layer system (grass, then bubbly plastic sifter and plastic tray) I use a pee pad at the very bottom (place on tray, the put bubble sifter over pad then grass over sifter) and it helps reduce smells and easier to keep clean Grass is a bit stinky to rinse out, but use vinegar or apple cider vinegar or a special urine removing enzyme product to help keep grass clean. It's perfect for windy balconies - the trays don't blow away or fly apart in windy conditions The dog loves this contraption Cons: If you leave it too long the grass really stinks when you go to rinse it with warm water so make sure if you are in apartment to open windows and try to put your hair in scarf so it doesn't permeate your hair. Buying replacement grass is expensive, but if you keep it relatively clean it can last a long time You're better off just buying the whole kit again cuz the grass replacement is only a few dollars cheaper If you have a large or medium sized dog I'd get 3-4 of these so they can have the room to circle. Also if you have a male dog you can buy these little fire hydrant things that can sit on the grass to encourage him to pee there. Overall I'm happy I purchased 2 of these things and I recently just bought 2 more. I'll keep buying them in the future as well.
