Training your puppy
Stage 1: Getting Off to a Good Start
Create an enclosed small space where your puppy can be confined but still feel like part of the family. Make the space large enough for the litter pan to be at least 3 to 4 feet from the puppy's crate and water bowl. Fill the pan with litter or recycled paper litter to the fill line when the puppy is not there. (This prevents him from associating it with the sound of kibble being put in his food bowl.) Place a small amount of the puppy's urine or solid waste in the pan to help pet understand what the pan is used for. Don't scold; praise your puppy profusely and give him a treat when he is using the litter pan!
Stage 2: Be in Control
Set up a routine of feeding and exercise. Have fresh water available until a few hours before crating for the night. Feed your puppy at the same time each day, removing the bowl after 1 to 20 minutes. Keep your puppy on a leash while outside the pen area. You will keep accidents to a minimum when you have control over your puppy at all times until your puppy is fully trained.
Stage 3: Build Good Habits
Place the puppy in the pan regularly when you take your puppy out of the crate, after sleeping or exercising and at mealtimes. Schedule exercise with your puppy. Until your puppy is fully trained, encourage pet to eliminate in the pan before exercising. Using the phrase "puppy go here" when the puppy actually goes in the pan will build the association between the pan and the activity. Eventually, you will be able to use the phrase as a cue for your pet to go potty.
Training your adult pet
Retraining a Puppy That's Already Trained to Use a Pad or Newspaper
Place the pan in the spot where you put the paper/pad, and place your usual material in the pan without the litter. After your puppy has used the pan a few times, fill the pan with litter to the fill line and place the usual material over it.
After your puppy has become familiar with the smell of the litter, slowly begin to use increasingly smaller pieces of the other material, uncovering more of the litter every couple of days.
Transitioning a Puppy Who Has Been Going Outside
Choose an area of about 4 feet by 4 feet to habituate your puppy. Use a command or cue phrase such as "puppy go here" or "do your thing" before you start training to help him understand the association between the place and the purpose.
When your puppy is used to the new area, put the litter pan-filled with grass or other material from the area-in the spot. When your puppy is comfortable with the ground material in the pan, replace it with litter or recycled paper litter. After the pet has been using the pan outside with the litter with complete reliability, start moving the litter-filled pan toward the house a little bit each day until you can bring it into the house.

Can't teach an old dog (part 2) . . . .
By AggieLady on Jan 19, 2022
This is probably a good product, but after 2-3 weeks of trying to get my 6-year-old dog to go in it (using pads, attractant, and dog litter), she still just sits in it and acts like she is being punished. I wanted her to have it for inclement weather and when I can't get home to let her out, but it does not look like she is going to cooperate. I give up.

Pan for the Puppy!
By Sweettater on Dec 2, 2021
I was shocked when the breeder said the puppy was litter box trained. I never thought it possible. She also mentioned I can get the box and the paper type litter (that is usually used for Rabbits) through my dear friends at Chewy.com (R). Well, the box arrived, the litter catcher went in and the rest is history. No poo or pee on the floor or any other place except the box. I highly recommend this, along with puppy training, to keep things where they need to be..... all boxed up! Thanks Chewy.com(R).

Me & Pup Love it!
By JBee on Nov 4, 2021
Our 1 yr. old rescued Chihuahua that we've had about 6 weeks has it down! She wasn't doing great when the pad & "grass" were on a plastic tray. She kept going too close to the edge and of course dribbling on the floor. It took a couple of days to get her adjusted, but she's been great since. The pan/box really helps! Also, no accidents in the house for about 10 days and she goes to use it on her own without being directed all of the time. Love it!

Great for elderly, arthritic kitties
By Jaffa on Nov 13, 2021
Although designed for potty training puppies, I purchased these pans for an elderly, arthritic kitty so it is easier for her to use the litter pan. They are extremely well made and sturdy pans with a sufficiently low entry for my kitty.

AWESOME Pan
By Granny on Dec 19, 2021
Molly, Yorkiepoo, is pad trained, but started missing the pad. Put the pad in the pan and she jumped right in. No more missing the pad!!

puppy parent
By Diane on Oct 13, 2021
Although product is sturdy it may have been a good product however my puppy will not go near it. I suppose his breeder put pee pads directly on floor and that is the only way he will go.

Didn’t Work
By Cincygirl on Sep 29, 2021
I thought this would be perfect for my 4 lb chihuahua boy. He didn’t want to use it. He did use it once and when he hiked his leg it went right over the top of the side wall. This may work for some but not for us.

Helpful!!!
By Ruthie on Aug 26, 2021
We've been having some trouble with Potty Confusion and carpets from our pee pads, so our trainer suggested a potty pan this seems to be helping! It is lightweight, a great size for my 12lb dog, and easy to clean.
