What is the best way to protect hardwood floors till dog is potty trained? Can moving blankets be used vs fabric pee pads? Sheet vinyl? Any creative ideas?
Thanks |

| We have wood floors and our puppy was not allowed to free roam on them until she was well trained. We kept her in the kitchen or in a dog bed if in other rooms. |

Thanks. That is our plan but no roam in the kitchen or that would be ideal. Thinking of getting sheet vinyl for the living room and gating it off. |

| Yup -I have a roll of linoleum from Home Depot cut to size for my foster puppies. I roll it up and leave it in a corner between puppies. |

Thanks! We have vinyl in the kitchen and I love it as its so easy to clean. I wasn't sure if it was worth spending the money for as I haven't seen a good deal but it seems easy then to just wipe up the mess/steam clean. |

| 17:06 here: I bought the cheapest possible linoleum. Ugly but that doesn't matter. |

That's exactly my plan. I was looking at HD and Lowes and other places to find what was cheapest. I don't want to leave it down forever but I don't want to stress over ruining the hardwood either. It seems like cheap protection as refinishing the floors was not fun. Thanks for the help! |

| A roll of linoleum but it is just back up. Keep the puppy on a 4ft leash when out of his crate while potty training. |

The house is so small, there aren't a lot of places to go and we'll block things off. Otherwise good idea but 4 feet is basically most of the room when you with furniture. Thanks |
