If I may, these are really good for certain dogs and can be confusing to others. I prefer my own dogs to learn not to go in the house at all, and that outside in their *spot* is where they need to be. Not saying it's not what's needed for certain situations, but dogs want to be dogs, which means going outside to relieve themselves. It can be confusing to a dog to understand it's ok to go inside here, but not here... It's just as easy to train them to go out as it is to pee on a pad, and it's what their instinct wants them to do. It also trains them to hold their bladder if they have to wait. Personally I feel if you must leave a dog more than 4-5 hours you should have a dog walker walk them or figure out a schedule that allows you to take care of the dog, then there is doggie daycare (cringe).
