how many potty spots do you have?? - Page 2 - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

My home is on one level and small, so I just have one.

**maggieh** · 12-20-2012, 10:18 PM

Two upstairs where the bedrooms and office are and one on the main floor.

I live in a condo.... so just one. They usually go to the spot they are trained to go potty.

I live in an apartment...so just one.

Just one spot on the rug if he forgets to tell us he has to go!! But barely go inside the house

**Grace'sMom** · 12-21-2012, 10:19 AM

I think just one spot should be fine.... Do you have him walk when you take him there?

I'd start walking him to it if you are currently carrying him, so that he knows where to go.

Grace was ringing her bell and would sit waiting at the mat to go outside at 18 weeks... so I think he should be able to find his spot

Giovanni rings the bells on the back door when he needs togo out, but sometimes he will use a potty pad. He has a pad in his 3 x 3 and I will put him in there if it is too yucky out, but he also has pad in the corner of the ding ing room and a one by the back door. I wish he used the potty pads more, but mostly he goes outside!

We keep a potty pad in Bella's Iris pen just in case for when we are not home but she is housebroken and she barks and waits by the door when she needs to go.

Isabella has one spot in the computer room. She only has access to the kitchen, dining room and the computer room. All these areas are tiled and easy to clean. She is 16 weeks and is going to the litter by herself many times but I watch her very closely. I do not have plans to allow her in the basement as it is carpeted and the living room as there are too many things that she can get into. I also have a play yard that I use when I am busy. I just put her litter in there and that works well.
