Puppy pads are a must-have device if you have a dog that is not house trained, or you live in an area in which you are unable to take him outside to use the bathroom. These simple devices will help save your floor from messes left by your dog. With a little bit of training, the dog will opt for using the pad as a toilet, rather than a random spot on . They are available in almost all pet supply stores, but they can be expensive to purchase and maintain. If the high price of a puppy pad concerns you, try making your own for a fraction of the price.
Instructions
1. Lay the vinyl tablecloth on the floor. A 5-square-foot area is usually plenty of room, but you may need more depending on your dog. Vinyl works great because it is nonabsorbent, so urine and feces can easily be wiped up.
2. Put three layers of newspaper on top of the tablecloth. The newspaper will absorb urine and help prolong the use of the tablecloth.
3. Remove and discard the soiled newspaper each time the dog urinates or defecates on it. Wipe the tablecloth down with a damp washcloth and soap to remove any excess urine.
4. Dry the tablecloth with a towel and lay fresh newspaper down.
