Keep in mind every Cairn puppy is different, so I listed at the bottom of this article what other supplies I tried and why I feel they didn't work for my Cairns.

• Pre-determined outside area for elimination (use it always and don't change it)
  
  
• Nature's Miracle - This is the only enzyme neutralizing odor and stain removing solution I recommend, and I recommend it solely because it was the only one that worked for me and I tried many brands. Read my related article, "Nature's Miracle."
  
  
• Crate - Read related articles, "Crate Training", Crates for Cairns, and "Housebreaking a Cairn Terrier"
  
  
• Exercise pen or portable fencing (I highly recommend the Pet Yard. It was one of the best investments I ever made and we still use it.)
  
  
• Baby or dog gates (to section off areas of your home where your Cairn puppy will not be allowed to roam until he graduates from housebreaking boot camp.
  
  
• Old rags
  
  
• Waste removal tools (quite honestly I use zipper plastic bags and sandwich bags)
  
  
• My FREE Puppy Housebreaking Chart Template
  
  

Reference my related articles, "Housebreaking a Cairn Terrier" and "Nature's Miracle".

Here is a list of supplies I bought that did not work, but they might for you if the above list and my related articles, doesn't work with your Cairn Terrier's housebreaking experience.

• puppy piddle pads (Our first Cairn Terrier, Molly May, thought the puppy piddle pads were a toy and she carried them around and tore them apart.)
• piddle pad frames that fasten to the floor (After finding out that putting the puppy piddle pads on the floor didn't work, I bought the frames that temporarily fasten them to the floor. Molly took that as a challenge to remove them from the frame or the floor.)
• pee post (Molly only sniffed it and walked away even though it sure smelled like urine to me.)
