Why the pad keeps missing

5 reasons he pees on the edge of the pad (and why a bigger pad won't fix it)

It isn't the size. It isn't the training. Bigger pad. Two pads. A tray with a lip. If you've tried them all and he still goes half on, half off, it isn't stubbornness. It's how he reads the floor.

  1. 1

    His back half isn't on the pad

    Front paws on, back paws off. He thinks he's standing on the pad because his nose and feet are. The part that matters is a foot behind him, on your floor.

    It isn't bad aim. It's where he thinks the pad ends.

  2. 2

    There's nothing in the middle to aim for

    Dogs stop where their nose tells them to. A plain pad has no scent in the centre, so there's nothing pulling him in. The sealed edge smells and feels different from the rest of the pad, and that's exactly where he parks.

  3. 3

    A bigger pad just moves the edge

    Go up a size and he still walks to the edge. It's a new edge in a new spot, with a bigger wet patch around it. You've paid more to move the problem, not fix it.

  4. 4

    Two pads make a new edge

    Overlap two pads and the seam between them becomes the most interesting line on the floor. Now he has two edges to choose from, and two pads to wash.

  5. The fixBefore

    Every fix you've tried moved the edge. This one removes it.

    The PawForge Pup Pad has a scent cue in the centre, so his nose leads him to the middle instead of the rim. A grippy base keeps it flat, and the whole thing goes in the wash. Four sizes, from toy breeds to shepherds.

The No-Accident Guide FREE

Comes with every pack. Where to put the pad, what to do in week one, and how to handle a dog who's been missing for months.

He's been missing the pad for months. Will this still work?

Most dogs change where they stop within the first few days, because the scent cue gives his nose something to follow. If yours doesn't, send it back within 90 days for a full refund.

How is this different from a training spray?

A spray sits on top and washes off. The cue here is part of the pad itself, so it's still there after 300+ washes.

What size is it?

Four sizes: XS 30 × 30 cm, S 40 × 60 cm, M 70 × 80 cm and L 80 × 90 cm. Tap Size guide next to the size picker to see them side by side with suggested breeds. Between sizes? Go up.

Will it survive a chewer?

The edges are stitched rather than heat-sealed, so there's no loose flap to start on, and the pad is built to last 300+ washes. No pad is chew-proof, so pick it up if he's in a shredding mood.

He goes in two different rooms. What then?

One pad per spot. The Rotation and Family packs are made for exactly this, and for keeping one clean while another is in the wash.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang to dry. No fabric softener.

So simple he works it out before you do

No training sessions. No treats on the pad. Three moves.

1

Put it down

Any flat spot: tile, wood, carpet, balcony.

2

Let him sniff

The scent cue in the centre does the introducing. No treats, no pointing.

3

He uses it. You wash it.

Into the machine when it's done, back on the floor the same day.

Keep it in the same spot for the first week so the habit sticks.

What your days actually look like once the pad works

Small things. They add up fast.

  • You sleep through the nightNo 3 a.m. trips to the door. He has a spot, and he uses it.
  • Travel is easierHotel room, friend's place, the car. Put it down and he knows what it's for.
  • The house smells like a house againWashable fabric instead of a bin full of plastic pads. One pad replaces a year of disposables, which is $600+ back in your pocket.
  • Older dogs keep their dignityWhen he can't hold it like he used to, he still has a place that's his.
  • Apartment living worksFourth floor, no garden, long shifts. He's fine, and so is your floor.
