Operating Instructions (Potty Training Guide)
Initial Placement and Encouragement
For puppies, place the pad in an area where they spend most of their time, especially after waking up or eating. The built-in attractant helps guide your pet to the pad. When your pet successfully uses the pad, offer immediate praise and a treat to reinforce the positive behavior.
Absorbency and Leak Protection
The 5-layer construction of these pads ensures maximum absorbency and prevents leaks. The super-absorbent core quickly turns liquid into gel, locking in moisture and odors. The plastic lining and border provide an extra layer of protection for your floors.

Maintenance and Disposal

Troubleshooting
Pet Not Using the Pad
- Relocation: If your pet is not using the pad, try moving it to a quieter, less trafficked area.
- Consistency: Ensure the pad is always available in the same spot. Consistency is key for training.
- Positive Reinforcement: Continue to use praise and treats immediately after successful use.
- Cleanliness: Ensure the pad is clean. Pets may avoid soiled pads.
Leakage Issues
- Proper Placement: Ensure the pad is laid flat with no creases that could create channels for liquid to escape.
- Frequent Changes: If your pet produces a large volume of liquid, the pad may need to be changed more frequently.
- Correct Size: Verify you are using the appropriate size pad for your pet's needs (refer to the Sizing Guide).
