Nothing Like It Designs Original DOH Housebreaking & Training Pad Holder

I'm a yorkshire terrier breeder. Several years ago I bought two of this size tray, and at the time you could also buy a dbl tray. I bought two dbl trays as well. I love these trays. They are far superior to other pee pad trays. When I went to reorder, the mail order catalog I bought them from had discontinued them. I didn't know they were made by "This is The Spot."

All my adult dogs go on these. I love how easy it is to change them. In addtion the outer frame is small so you utility almost all of the pee pad where in the other trays a lot of the pad is under the frame. You end up with more usable area, yet the overall size is smaller than the white and aqua snapping design. I've found the trays that are hinged, are difficult as the pad gets in the way of the hinge, so you have to fold the pad to get it to fit properly. (While you are fussing trying to get the pads in the puppies are jumping all over you and the pad!) As for the ones that snap together, they should put the snaping sides on the long sides not the short sides. The pad is very easy for the puppies to pull out of the frame. Sometime they don't snap properly.

I sell puppies to a lot of older couples, who don't have the best of balance and this is much easier for them to change than either of the other two styles.

I train all my puppies once they are weaned to go on these. Most of my customers living in condo, apartments, or working full time love the flexability of this system. I can't say enough about this product. I just hope they continue to be available!! NO LOL, I am NOT getting paid to say this!!! Betty Wilkinson

We bought this because our puppies would drag the pee pads all over and shred them up. We ended up throwing away numerous unused pads because they were used as toys instead of their intended purpose. This holder has completely eliminated the playing with the pads. One dog was fine with the holder as soon as we put it out, but the other was more cautious of it, and had "went" on the floor next to the holder. By the second day though, both were fine with using it. We use Wee-Wee Pads brand and they fit great. The holder is really simple to open and close for changing out the pads as well.

These training pad holders were a switch for us from the 8 separate piece type (4 piece frame bottom and 4 piece frame top). We have used the separate piece type for many years but finally grew tired of the top pieces breaking and splitting and having to replace 4 pieces everytime we changed a pad. We live in a household with multiple small dogs so we have always used three pad holders in one room, side-by-side.

This Nothing Like It Design Training Pad Holder is easier to change in that we only have to remove the one piece top frame to change a pad but there are a few drawbacks:

1. As other reviewers have said, they do not "snap" together. In order to make a snug fit of top and bottom pieces of the frame, we find that putting two

pads in the frame at one time helps to snug up the fit. There isn't really any pad waste since the bottom pad just stays in place and we only replace

the top of the two pads when it is soiled.

2. These pad holders have plastic extensions at the corners that are wider than the actual frame. This does not allow you to have the pad frames flush up

against one another. The extended feet create an approximate 1/2" gap between the two holders. This causes a problem if the dogs happen to squat over the

gap allowing the urine to hit the floor underneath the holders. To rectify this, we put another pad underneath the two side-by-side holders to catch

any possible mishap.

3. These pad holders do not come with any sort of rubber feet. The entire bottom is plastic. Since we set them up on a tile floor, they were sliding

around as the dogs walked around them. To rectify this, I used some double sided carpet tape and slivers of non-skid shelf liner on each of the corners

and this seems to have remedied this problem.

So, as you can see, these training pad holders are far from perfect but workable in order to gain the ease of only having to remove one piece to change a pad. Another advantage is that they are actually made to fit, and utilize, the entire size of a 23" X 24" pad. The 8 piece frames are square and you lose some pad use.

We have a little shihtzu who loves to pee over the edge of his piddle pads. We got him the extra large holder that folds in half in hopes that if he had "enough room" he would stay on it...not so much. He still would go to the edge and pee over. Most of it was caught, but there was always some that would make it's way over and onto the floor where I had another piddle pad to catch it. The whole holder started to smell, even when we tried to clean it out as best we could because of all the nooks and crannies underneath the edges of it. We saw this one, which is the kind my daughter in law uses for her 2 little female dogs, and decided to give it a try. We didn't know if it would be big enough for him, although he had shown us repeatedly that size made NO difference. Anyway, the wee wee pads fit perfectly on this one and it is harder for him to go over the edge. If I keep it closer to the wall, it keeps his little lifted leg on the pad which greatly helps his aim. If he does go over, it is SO much easier to clean because it has a simple edge without any joints or cracks. Absolutely love it! I wish we had gotten this kind from the beginning. Maybe if you have females, the extra large one would work, but with our little male it did not. Another huge plus for us is that we like to change the pads several times throughout the day and it is super simple to do that with this. Just lift off the top, put the new pad down and replace the top. We will never have a different kind.

We have two Maltese pups who are exclusively pad trained. We are very pleased with this tray. The cheap Walmart pads fit securely and it is much easier to change the pads compared to a similar product we purchased prior to this one. The construction is sturdy, and attractive for the sort of item it is. While both pups were willing to urinate on the pad in the previous tray, they were hesitant to poop on it. I think this is because it does not sit as flat on the floor. Both pups have been willing to take care of all their business on this new tray. I would definitely order again if I needed to replace it or add a location. Because we have it located on a hard surface floor, my husband did add some small pads to the bottom at the corners to keep it from scooting.

We have had it for almost a month, so I feel like we have given enough time to make a fair assessment.
