How to Potty Train Dogs with Disposable Underpads

When you get a new puppy, one of the most frustrating things that you have to deal with is potty training. Chasing your puppy around the house and constantly cleaning up messes gets very frustrating. Sometimes it seems more convenient to leave the dog in a cage to limit the mess to one area. However, even cleaning up urine and feces from a cage is no fun.

There are a number of effective methods for potty training puppies. Some people put down newspapers in the cage and in a limited location within the house and train the puppy to use this area only for pottying. While this does limit the size of the area to be cleaned, it is still not a pleasant task to tend.

While newspapers and paper towels make cleaning up feces much easier, these items provide very little protection from urine seeping through onto linoleum or carpet. This results in the need to constantly mop and steam clean. Cloth towels require manually removing feces and continually laundering the towels. Many people do not think that it is very sanitary to wash urine and feces covered in the same washing machine that they use for their delicates.

Disposable Underpads that are available online over the Internet are a terrific alternative to towels, newspapers and paper towels. Substituting the disposable under pads for towels or newspapers saves the dog owner much cleanup and frustration. These underpads contain the mess and prevent leak through. The term disposable says it all. You can simply roll up the messy Underpad and replace it with a fresh one. This saves steam cleaning, moping and constant scrubbing since there is no leak through mess due to the waterproof barrier.

Once the puppy is trained you may think that there is no longer a need to use these underpads. The truth is that it is always handy to have these available. Should you leave the house for an extended period of time, it is a good idea to have a pad available in case your dog is unable to wait to potty until you get home. It is also useful to keep them in the cage if you use it for the dog's bed. Even adolescent dogs may have an occasional accident if you oversleep in the morning.

There are several reputable manufacturers and brands of disposable underpads – TENA Disposable Underpads, Kendall Durasorb Underpad, Tendersorb Underpad, Tranquility Disposable Underpads, STA-PUT, Attends, Principle Business, First Quality, SCA Underpads, Prevail, Kimberly Clark, Hartman USA, and Covidien Underpads. Each of the underpads are available online at Vitality Medical.

In summary, it is much cheaper and effective to use disposable underpads than to constantly wash floors and steam clean carpets. It is certainly much less frustrating to take care of messes on the disposable underpads than on towels or newspapers. When you count the cost, both financially and time wise, you will certainly see that the disposable underpads are a great alternative for potty training dogs.
