1. Introduce your dog to the pad.

2. Anticipate when they're likely to pee (soon after sleeping, playing or eating).

3. Take them to the pad to pee and reward them with a treat.

4. Repeat until your dog starts going to the pad by themselves.

Our pads can be washed on a quick cycle as often as needed. To avoid too many loads of laundry, store soaked pads in a dedicated laundry bag and wash them all at once. Some users prefer to wash daily while others weekly.

The pads can be tumble dried or hang dried.

In most cases with light to medium soiling, our pads can be washed on a quick cycle with the cold or warm setting. For heavy soiling or staining, the pads can be washed at higher temperatures.

No, standard washing liquid does the job just fine. For more heavily soiled pads or set-in stains, oxygen-based bleach or enzyme cleaners can also be used.

Lightly soaked pads can be stored in your normal laundry bag. For frequently or heavily soaked pads, we suggest using a dedicated laundry bag (cloth or plastic). If the bag is washable, you can throw it in the washing machine along with the pads to keep it fresh and clean.

Washing the pads with your standard load of laundry helps minimise water use and extra laundry loads. We suggest using the pre-wash setting with the pads first, before adding your clothes to the machine for the rest of the cycle.
