PetSafePet Loo Indoor Pet Toilet, Portable Dog Potty Station, Grass Pad Tray of Synthetic Grass Mat, Easy to Clean, Large

I am going to explain in detail so you can understand the circumstances this of this little pup because due to our jobs he does not have the normal at home house time other pups do. Let me start by saying that my husband and I team drive (we both drive) a semi over the road, while I drive he sleeps and while he drives I sleep our truck does not usually stop. Solo drivers have a mandatory 10 hour shut down daily. With that said he is in a steady moving semi truck sometimes 24 hours a day with our (1) mandatory 30 min break each. We can not stop every 2 hours for potty breaks. We got him he was 8 weeks, could only hold it about 2 hours for his age and bladder. I got potty pads and put them down well. He peed all over the truck on my rugs and the pee pad too lol when we caught him we picked him up and put him on pad, a baby has to learn. OK then we had been out for 3 months straight so over Christmas holidays we took 6 weeks off and potty training started. I set the clock he went out to grass every 2 hours (he was 10 weeks at that point) and when he woke up and also after meals. So with treat in hand we went as soon as he pottied I gave him treat every single time around the clock, I slept thru alarm maybe 3 times it is very tiring but worth it in which I found he had climbed out of his area and pottied in front of door. I thought this was just fine he tried not his fault. He stayed mostly in a area I had blocked off size of play pen so he did not have chance to get out of site and potty if I saw him start to potty I said loud and firm no potty inside!!! Grab him and ran for door to grass if he finished outside he got treat if he got finished before I reached him well we went out but no potty grass no treat. No praise, rubs and all the good boys. I litterally watched him almost every waking hour I sat within reach of him. I only left when I had to and my husband watched him and walked him but not every 2 hours I am sure and prob didn't get a treat either lol. If he pottied inside I was not told about it and that would mean husband dropped the ball not the pup. Anyway after 6 weeks it's time to go back to work and stay in truck basically 24/7 pup 3 1/2months now can hold it for 3 to 3 1/2 hours well we can not stop constantly so I found pet loo on Amazon and read every single review and their suggestions, in my mind I was hoping he would use both, outside unless of emergency then pet looand pet loo so all that no sleep and hard work was not wasted. Well I took all the advice from different reviews I got the medium he weighed 18 pounds at vet. I bought the better grass it's soft like real grass hoping he didn't know it was fake lol. It is much heavier backing but does have drainage holes but a review said not enough of them so I took a box cutter and made many more by using the point punching thru not cutting slits. Got the apple smelling potty spray Go Here, sprayed in the middle only so all surrounding areas were if aim was for middle but little body not in midlle it would still be on the potty loo. Got a handful of grass from outside and sprinkled on the soft fake grass for real grass smell. I also got the wee care cleaner. Put powder in the container to catch urine and oder control and waited to see what happened. The first day back, we weren't in a hurry to deliver a load we stopped every 3 to 4,hours and he held it every single time one time he was in such hurry when we stopped I don't know how he held it. The potty loo was that day used to played on with his toys and he laid on it to sleep and I thought oh no glorified lounge area but still hopeful as pups do all those things on real grass. No pottying on it not 1 time but the next night we got to stop for few hours in between loads and as normal we both slept, I took him out before I went to sleep, this was in truck 48 hours by now. And I was so tired I slept with alarm set for 5 hours it was all I had and I needed it, I just knew he would not make it and for the first time since we started training I slept without setting alarm for 2 or 3 hours I needed that 5 straight through, I just knew he had went on floor while I slept. I checked his blanket the pet loo and the rugs all over and nope he did not, he was sleeping also so I figured at this age maybe that's why he held it little longer because he was sleeping. But then I had went to sleep while my husband was driving after we picked up our load and slept for prob 6 more hours I knew he stopped once for him but to my shock and surprise I just checked trey when I woke not expecting anything and oh my goodness it was a yellow spot of gel where he peed it went into the container and the powder had gelled it up. I was very happy and impressed he did it. I definitely did not want to really mess him up after all that training at home to think it was ok to potty on floor of truck even if there was a potty pad down or to confuse him after all those weeks of we can only use grass to now it is all different. And I found the potty loo and it wonderful it is very sturdy made I stepped on foot on it for step just to see it did not move or give at all. I am so thankful for all the reviews that made suggestions on what helped them, so that I got it right from the beginning. I definitely recommend this product and also adding grass they peed on is recommended and I understand why I just didn't have any when i set it up the potty loo in truck so I just got handful of real grass and it worked perfect.

I've tried lots of different systems and this one is the best. What sets it apart is the draining system. It keeps the urine from pooling or filling up a pee mat. It's easy to clean and keeps my dogs feet dry. I suggest getting the fibers that go in the pee container. Highly recommend.

We live downtown on the eighth floor with slow elevators that break down a lot so potty training a puppy was too hard without finding an indoor solution. We started with PupHead grass which was working ok for us the first 10 months of potty training until our bulldog outgrew it and stared relieving himself on the sides of the grass, spilling onto the floor.We purchased this product hoping that it would be easier to clean & use by our bulldog. In theory the Pet Loo being raised was the solution since he'd have to hop on. However once he jumped off for the first time the grass went flying & freaked him out to the point he would only use the grass if we placed him on & took him off. We ended up using screws to keep the grass from moving but he'd still be shaking in fear every time we put him on it. We left it out for him for about a month to see if he'd warm up to it himself, meanwhile taking him on his daily walks 3x a day. He never did warm up to it but he did end up holding his bowels while we where at work.Cons:Poor design - grass has rubber backing which takes days to dry fully & still slips under the weight of heavy dogsHorrible smell - I rinsed every time I'd place him on it with water & clean in twice a week in the tub and it still smelled worse than the Puphead grassEye sore - other potty grass on the market don't look as cheap as this onePros:SInce our dog was petrified of the thing it actually ended up potty training him. We now just take him out 3-4 times a day & he's doing fine not having a place to go in the loft anymore.If I had to do it all over again I'd buy the larger version of the pup grass we had before which was a bit more expensive. We ended up tossing the Pet Loo this weekend.... I guess you get what you pay for.
