I must be doing something wrong because my 4 lb yorkie can tear these out of the holder and shred the pads to pieces. Anyone else have this problem?

yes my shih tzu did the same thing....they really do look better more than they are good. I just hate having a wee wee pad laying on the floor.

You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing. We're working on it and he has been more cooperative. I make a ridiculously big deal out of any success ( including his favorite yrea, And I tell him how bad he is when he tears things up (clearly for fun). If you can muster the patience, AND you use the right absorbant pads, it does work. Be careful what pad you use, Four Paws WeeWee pads are AWFUL. found some really heavy duty pads made by a small company - look up the name, "Value Pet Supplies." They actually helped me ! the pads they make are far better than others I tried. Good luck. You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing.

My puppies do the same. I purchased the large pad because of two pups, so I have a big mess when they shred it. I just scold them and try to watch them. They don't do it all of the time. Just when they are bored. It is happening less frequently, thank goodness.

You are more than welcome. My little terrorist really has improved with time. He does his best to demonstrate how much he objects to my going out without him - but he's getting there - multiple short trips have helped him trust that I just might come back to him after all. He's a rescue whose "dad" died.

What I do is spray the pads lightly with the " Bitter Apple spray " that you can get in a pet smart ot pet co, or here on Amazon, and your dog will never shred the pad when it's on the pad holder again. The Holder is great.

I didn't have that problem but my dog was able to chew/destroy some of the little flanges which supposedly keep the treats inside.

I have a yorkie and he loves them. However, for a heavy chewer, they'd probably be gone in one bite.

Hi Connie,K. J. Fowler answers your question very well. Just make sure you have your case snapped back together evenly and tight so your pup doesn't lose the compartment. I have seen a complaint on that but I haven't had a problem. You just have to snap it back correctly. Hope this helps!Shirley Long

I'm not sure what could be done. I only have this one for a few weeks. So far so good, but it's way too small for my dog. I had 3 similar pads from a different company. They only lasted for about a year and a half. Shrunk and dried up inside. Nothing I could do with them, so went to the trash.

Don't get me wrong...it worked beautifully for about a month or so until my dachshund pulled the floor up off of the velcro and your puppies may not figure out the velcro floor right away or at all...I would put a large blanket in it to keep their attention from the floor because you really can't tell it's removable. It was great to use indoors and out..and we are keeping it for future use with new puppies..Thanks

Are you using the same pads, i had to put the poop on the new pad that was on the holder, to guide my tea cup, help him get use to it.. hope this helps

I can't imagine what to do! My pug has loved it from the beginning. We had to replace it several times because it's torn up. She takes all her toys in there and hides things she's not supposed to have in there. Maybe just give him time and he'll get used to it...?

I have not had a problem with breaking them up..some are very large but I have not run across very many thick ones that need breaking...luck of the draw? I would use a tenderizing hammer to break them up. But all in all the dogs really love them. Good luck

I have a golden doodle and she ripped it apart in three walks.Also did nothing to stop her from pulling. I NOW USE A TRAINERS COLLAR WHICH HAS STOPPED ALL PULLING.

Yes, I found the product holds the pads in place nicely. I have an older dog so she is not to destructive when it comes to the pads. I can acutally just lay several pads over the grate at one time and remove one at a time as she uses them.

I have three small girls that use them. A malt, chi & yorkie all under 9 lbs, so they are never dry and go in washer everyday. I put down multiple pads at a time. They are better than paper pads and my my yorkie can't chew them up like the paper ones! I also have hardwood and tile no carpet!!!

I have not experienced this problem. The shredding done by my machine is what I expected it to do. Maybe you have a bad set of shredding rollers in yours. I would contact Amazon or Fellows about this issue. Good Luck!!

They would work but I prefer pads a bit larger and I have Yorkies. I won't buy these again for that reason.

Yes, we have the box and Havanese dogs! We do not use the box because out dogs were more interested in pulling pads out of the frame like a toy to shred when they were puppies. Repeated attempts were no more successful and our dogs are 6 mos and adult. They are house trained and use pads on the floor when our timing does not match theirs or we are away. They did use the smaller pad holders found in most pet supply chain stores. We found it was just another thing to clean. Puppy training is essential; we were training 4 puppies after rescuing a pregnant mama dog, so factor that into our mixed success rate:) Yes, we have the box and Havanese dogs!

I was wondering the same thing! I had a puppy chew one ear pad but the headphones are not damaged! So, instead of spending money on a new pair of headphones, I'd like to buy replacement pads!!
