Pad training our new foster, not going so well....

Great! I swear I"m going to pee pad train my next doxie with all the rain we have here.

Terrific update! I've had pretty good luck with Resolve for carpets, too, and products with oxygen cleaners for stains and odors.

I think Lisa's "pup-port" wins! Best idea ever.

We tried something similar but no luck!

I can understand that because when it rains really hard, the grass is still going to end up wet and my dog HATE to potty on wet grass. The pup port would be awesome for snow, but probably not so great for rain. And we do have gully washing rain here in Houston.

You are doing a great job!! Training takes time, as you know. I just re-read a great quote from Pat Miller's Do Over Dogs, "If you think you are going too slow, slow down."

The vet tech said many shelter fosters here are "potty-shy." We had to set up a semi-private area with puppy pads and boundaries, then leave the area. Voila! The next step was praising our foster in the act. Oh my!! She acted like we barged the ladies room door open! (very shy) Now, she uses her puppy pads (-if we can't go for a walk due to health issues here), and she will run over and wiggle to tell us she did a good job!

The enzyme cleaners are great. Putting their own pee on the pad works wonders for most. (-Although I had a good older girl who acted aghast, because I "framed" her!)

Glad to hear you are making such great progress!!
