## Abstract

A pad holder for a training pad used to housetrain pets secures the training pad onto a desired anchoring point. The pad holder includes a plurality of pad fasteners, a mounting structure, and a plurality of supports. The plurality of pad fasteners and the plurality of supports are mounted onto opposite sides of the mounting structure. The mounting structure is used to arrange the plurality of pad fasteners into a single-file line. This allows the absorbent pad to be mounted and oriented parallel to the ground. The plurality of supports is used to fasten the mounting structure to the desired anchoring point.
