American Kennel Club XL Dog Training Pads, 50 Count, Unscented with Waterproof Backing

American Kennel Club Dog Training Pads are unscented, extra-large indoor training pads measuring 28 x 30 in (71.12 x 76.2 cm), with 50 pads per pack to give puppies and indoor dogs a designated place to go.

• 28 x 30 in (71.12 x 76.2 cm), 50-count pack — provides an extra-large pad for regular indoor use.
• Six-layer construction with waterproof backing — helps protect the floor from seepage.
• Quick-drying SAP technology — absorbs and retains liquid to help keep paws dry.
• Three-in-one attractant formula — encourages dogs to use the designated pad.
• Odor-neutralizing core — helps neutralize unpleasant smells.
• Soft, breathable top layer — gives dogs a comfortable surface under their paws.

These pads are made for puppy house training and for dogs that spend long periods indoors. Their extra-large format gives a dog a defined toilet area, while the absorbent core and waterproof backing help manage everyday accidents in the home. Use them in a confined area during training, or as an indoor relief spot for a dog that cannot go outside as often.

What size are the AKC Dog Training Pads, and what comes in the pack?

Each AKC Dog Training Pad measures 28 x 30 in (71.12 x 76.2 cm), and the pack contains 50 pads. The extra-large surface creates a clear target area for puppies learning where to relieve themselves and for dogs that need an indoor spot. Place a pad in a confined area to establish a consistent location.

• Unscented pads.
• Blue plastic side goes down when positioning a pad.

How do the AKC Dog Training Pads help manage accidents?

AKC Dog Training Pads combine a soft, breathable top with a six-layer build, liquid-locking technology and waterproof backing. Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) technology quickly absorbs and retains liquid, while the odor-neutralizing core helps neutralize unpleasant smells. The quilted top sheet is tear-resistant, and the backing helps prevent liquid from seeping through to the floor.

• The attractant formula is designed to entice, engage and encourage your dog to use the pad.
• Replace a soiled pad as needed.

How should I use the pads to train a puppy?

Unfold an AKC Dog Training Pad with the blue plastic side down, then place it in a confined area. Take your puppy to the pad several times a day so it can learn the designated spot. Puppies need to relieve themselves at intervals that vary with age; a two-month-old puppy may need to go about every two hours. A puppy may also need to go shortly after eating, and more frequent elimination may be needed in summer when water intake is higher.

• Bring your dog back to the pad if it relieves itself elsewhere.
• Use the same cue, such as “go potty,” when your dog uses the pad, then reward success with a treat and praise.
• Once pad use is consistent, gradually move the pad toward the door and then outside.

These pads suit puppy owners establishing an indoor training routine and households that need a designated relief area for a dog spending long periods inside. Their 28 x 30 in surface, absorbent six-layer design and guided training steps make them a practical choice for building consistent pad use at home.
