Training A Puppy

Question: After you train a puppy to "go" in one area, can i--the now dog-- train them to "go" somewhere else?

So when my three puppies were puppies, we put the puppy training pads down in our formal dining room since we didn't use it. Now we have to use that room and eating beside those are disgusting. Can I replace the pads to my room and train them to go in there or is it too late for that? Thanks :]

Yes, but not in a day. The piddle pad needs to move a bit every day: to the door, into the hall, down the hall, at the bedroom door, inside the bedroom, across to the final place. Years ago when puppies were first newspaper trained and then moved out to the garden as they got older, the newspaper moved a little bit every day until it arrived at 'the spot'.

I agree with TK. And get yourself some training treats. Reward them as this process goes on, and they will be trained to go outside in no time. (Now can you talk to my in-laws..they have pads all over the house, it is gross)
