Good Boy Puppy Training Pads – 30 Pack | 3-Layer Leak-Proof Protection | Odour Control & Fast Absorption

Good Boy Training Pads – 30 Pack

Training pads give a puppy one designated place to go while it learns to hold on, and Good Boy’s work the way the better ones do: a soft outer face that a puppy will stand on, an ultra-absorbent inner layer, and a protective backing that keeps what is absorbed off the floor underneath. Good Boy call the mechanism layer lock protection — the liquid turns to gel and stays turned to gel, so it does not come back out when a paw presses on it.

The edges are sealed rather than raw, which is where cheap pads fail first, and the material is made to resist tearing under a puppy that decides the pad is a toy. Thirty pads is the middle pack; Good Boy also make an 8 and a 100.

Performance & Benefits

• Layer lock protection turns absorbed liquid to gel, so it stays in the pad rather than squeezing back out.
• Ultra-absorbent inner layer with a soft outer face a puppy is willing to stand on.
• Protective backing to keep floors and upholstery clear of what the pad has taken up.
• Sealed edges, which is where thin pads leak from first.
• Strong and tear-resistant, for a puppy that plays with the pad as well as using it.
• Containing the liquid is what controls the smell — gel in a sealed pad does not gas off the way a wet surface does.

Suitable For

• House-training a puppy, indoors, before the vaccination course is finished.
• Crates and carriers, and travel.
• Older dogs that no longer last the night, and dogs recovering from surgery or on restricted exercise.
• Flats and upper floors, where the garden is not two steps away.
• Not a long-term substitute for taking a dog outside — a pad teaches a dog that indoors is acceptable, so plan to phase it out.

How to Use

• Lay the pad flat, plastic backing down, away from the food bowl and the bed.
• Watch for sniffing, circling and squatting, and move the puppy onto the pad.
• Praise as soon as the puppy uses it — the reward has to land within a second or two to register.
• Change a soiled pad promptly; a puppy will not use a pad it has already filled.
• Move the pad a little closer to the door each week once the puppy is reliable, then outside.
