Abstract
Apparatus 10 for a pet 12, 14 training pad having a plurality of material layers to retain fluids and solid material; while preventing passage therethrough. The top layer serves as the absorbent material 16 with the bottom layer 18 forming a fluid impermeable layer to prevent passage of liquids. The impermeable layer 18 extends over the periphery edge of the top absorbent layer forming a hem 26 that is colored green to simulate grass. On the underside of the bottom layer 18, a plurality of adhesive or frictional members 20 are fastened thereto that will prevent movement, in whole or in part, from the selective placement of the pad. Optionally, a fragrance layer 22 can be incorporated into the pad between the fluid impermeable base layer 18 and the top absorbent layer 16 to attract pets 12, 14 to the pad.
