1. Choose a durable training pad. Some training pads are made of flimsy material that can be easily torn or chewed. Look for a pad that is made of a strong, durable material, such as nylon or vinyl.
2. Place the training pad in a designated area. This will help your puppy to learn where they are supposed to go to the bathroom. Make sure the area is away from their food and water bowls, and from any other areas where they might be tempted to play or chew.
3. Secure the training pad to the floor. This will help to prevent your puppy from moving the pad around or tearing it up. You can use tape or adhesive to secure the pad, or you can purchase a training pad that has a built-in adhesive backing.
4. Praise your puppy when they use the training pad. This will help them to learn that going to the bathroom on the pad is a good thing. Be sure to give them a treat or some other form of positive reinforcement every time they use the pad.
5. Redirect your puppy if they start to chew or tear the training pad. If you see your puppy starting to chew or tear the pad, immediately redirect them to something else, such as a toy or a chew bone.
6. Be patient. It may take some time for your puppy to learn to use the training pad consistently. Be patient and consistent with your training, and eventually your puppy will get the hang of it.
Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:
* If your puppy is still chewing or tearing the training pad after you've tried everything else, you may need to consider using a different type of potty training method. There are many different methods available, so do some research and find one that works for you and your puppy.
* If you're having trouble potty training your puppy, you may want to consider consulting with a professional trainer. They can help you to identify the root of the problem and develop a training plan that will help your puppy to learn.
