We have redesigned where to put the pads to enable us to make it easier for success. We seem to do this with every litter but where we put them varies for whatever reason to get to that goal.
If you watch the videos, you will see that we wash and reset up the pens daily. Throughout the day we change this blanket or that. You will see in some of the videos that the pups are out walking around while the pen is getting cleaned. This allows the area to be cleaned without interference and it exposes them to a whole new world. Throughout their time here they will have exposures to many rooms, many things - all in our plan to help them to be confident with changes.
If you ever have any questions, post and I will respond.
