My dogs hate rain. Can pee pads stop indoor accidents on rainy days?

Question

My 15 month old dogs hate going out in the rain and end up having accidents in the house. Would it confuse them if I put weewee pads out on rainy days? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 8 lbs

What a frustrating issue. If they are already having accidents in the house on rainy days, I think putting down the pee pad occasionally won't make things worse. You'll need to put a bit of effort in to teaching them to use the pads - pay close attention to them when it's storming and lead them to the pad (probably on a leash or would be best) and reward them immediately with treats after they pee there. Additionally, clean any areas they have peed in the house with an enzymatic cleaner. I like Urine Away. This will help remove the smell so they are less likely to urinate there again. Good luck with your little guys! Rain can be very scary :)
