I think that's a great idea. I have a victorian bulldog, Wrigley and he is about 11 months old, and he still has his "accidents", I was wondering have you tried this and does it really work?

To explain further... when you first get a puppy, most people do what they would call "paper training". You would use newspaper or absorbent (diaper like) pads on the floor to try to train the puppy to only go in certain places. This of course being the transitional phase to having the puppy actually go outside on it's own. I never understood what newspaper or training pads actually has to do with the grass/trees most dogs eventually associate with going potty. To illustrate: With babies, diapers (absorbent pads) are used when they are too young to be aware of their bodily functions... when they do come of age and 'potty training' is started you introduce a training potty to begin weaning them out of diapers into using a toilet... the same could be done when training a puppy…more, only use realistic grass on an absorbent pad to introduce them and eventually train them to going outside. Make sense?

Hey bro do you mind explaining this idea a little more--so I guy like me who doesn't own a dog can understand it. sounds good though.
