People who start RIGHT AWAY with indoor potty training have less accidents (in general) than those who INSIST on ONLY training to outdoors. ESPECIALLY when starting with baby puppies. What you need to teach baby puppies is that are "right" places to go and "wrong" place to go. Indoor potty options helps them understand that concept.

If you MUST use pee pads, make sure you put them in a tray where they are pinned down and the puppy can't play with them and chew them up. Havanese are paper shredders. I HATE pee pads for a number of reasons. All that plastic is terrible for the environment. They STINK as soon as they are peed on the first time. Many puppies WILL NOT use them again once they are peed on once. And, as I mentioned, most Havanese puppies will tear them up, throw them around and play with them... clean or dirty. They don't care.

Thank you for your quick response. What do you suggest instead of pee pads?

Oh sorry! Pine pellets in a litter box! I prefer a litter box with a grate over it. At this point, I'm suggesting these as the best commercially available option:

Otherwise, you have to make a grate to fit your own box, which is also an option. I get my pellets at Tractor Supply.

Oh, thanks for the clarification!
