Former Shelter Director Creates Pheromone Pad That Trains 50+ Dogs Daily. Now Available to Every Dog Owner
How a scent cue built into a washable mat did what years of training tips couldn't — and why it works just as well at home.

Does your dog keep having accidents even though you've tried everything?
Here's what most people don't realize: Your dog isn't being stubborn. Your dog isn't untrainable. The problem is that traditional pee pads don't speak your dog's language. After working with over 14,000 dogs across 14 years and seeing hundreds return to shelters because owners gave up on house training, I discovered something that changed everything.

The Moment I Knew I Had to Do Something
My name is Sarah Mitchell, and for 14 years I was the director of a county animal shelter in Southern California. I loved that job. But there was one day I'll never forget that changed everything.
His name was Luca. An 18-month-old golden retriever with the sweetest temperament you've ever seen. His family brought him back for the third time. He wasn't just peeing on the carpet. He was everywhere. I begged them to give us one more chance. I even offered to work with Luca myself after hours. But they'd made up their minds. Three days later, when no one adopted him, Luca was euthanized.
He wasn't aggressive. He wasn't sick. He was just a puppy who couldn't figure out where to go.
That night, I went home and cried. Then I got angry. Then I decided I was going to find a solution no matter how long it took. Because Luca wasn't alone. In our shelter alone, we saw this happen over and over.
Of all dog surrenders were due to house-training issues
Dogs under 2 were returned at twice the rate of older dogs
First-time owners gave up 3x faster than experienced owners
The disposable pee pad industry was making billions, but their products weren't working. And dogs were dying because of it.

The Pattern I Started Noticing
After Luca, I became obsessed. I started documenting every dog that came through our shelter. And I noticed something strange: some rescue dogs would walk in and immediately start using our training pads. Others would ignore them completely, no matter how much we tried to train them.
I spent months researching canine scent behavior. That's when I discovered the answer:
Dogs don't see the world like we do — they SMELL it.
When a dog needs to go, they're looking for specific scent markers that say "this is a bathroom spot." It's instinctual, built into their DNA. Regular pee pads smell like plastic and chemicals. To a dog's nose, which is 10,000 to 100,000 times more sensitive than ours, they smell like... nothing. But when another dog had used a pad before? That's when dogs would use it almost immediately.
That's when it hit me: what if we could recreate that natural scent cue?

Introducing TinyOops: The First Pee Pad That Speaks Your Dog's Language
A reusable pee pad infused with natural pheromones that guides dogs exactly where to go — instinctively, without any training. Here's what makes it different from every disposable pad on the market:
1. Pheromone Infusion Technology
We identified the specific compound (methyl p-hydroxybenzoate) that signals "bathroom spot" to dogs and infused it directly into the pad's core layer.
Result: Dogs are naturally attracted to the pad from day one. No treats, no training, no frustration.
2. Built to Last 300+ Wash Cycles
After seeing how wasteful disposable pads were in our shelter (we went through 200+ per day), I designed this to be washed and reused.
Result: One mat replaces about 1,200 disposable pads and saves you about $420 a year.
3. 4-Layer Leak Defense System
Layer 1 (Top):
Soft, quick-dry fabric that stays comfortable for your dog
Layer 2:
Quilted absorbent core that pulls liquid in and holds it
Layer 3:
Sealed barrier that keeps liquid away from air, so odor never builds
Layer 4 (Bottom):
Waterproof, non-slip grip that protects your floors
Result: Holds 4+ pees without leaking or smelling. Your floors stay 100% dry.
4. Shelter-Grade Durability
At the shelter, our pads needed to handle large dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who would chew anything. This pad is built to that same standard.
Result: Chew-resistant, tear-proof, and stays strong even with heavy daily use.
In our shelter trials, we saw something incredible:
Of dogs used the pad correctly on their first try
Of dogs were consistently using it within 24 hours
Returns from adopters using the pad (compared to 37% before)

Now Helping Thousands of Dogs Stay in Their Homes
After we started using the TinyOops mat in our shelter, word spread fast. Other shelters started calling. Then rescue organizations. Then everyday dog owners. Today the mat has been tested with more than 5,000 dogs and is preventing the same heartbreak I saw with Luca.

"We tried 3 different pads before this one. He used the mat the first night. We're not running a training plan. He just goes to it. I cried the first time he walked past the rug and used the mat instead."

"We were about to give up on our 6-month-old lab. Regular pads weren't working, and our landlord was threatening to evict us. We put one by the door and one by the crate. First day he used it. Zero marks on the parquet for 3 months now."

"My 12-year-old can't hold it anymore. I was spending $35–$40 a month on disposable pads that leaked through anyway. This one I wash with the towels. No leaks, no smell. Wish I'd found it years ago."

"Small dog, small NYC apartment. I work 10+ hour days and used to come home to paper towels. The mat sits in the office. He uses it every time."

"Three dogs (2 adults, 1 puppy). We were going through a box of disposables every 3 days. We bought the 6-pack and haven't bought another pad in 8 months. The puppy learned the place because the place was still there."

"First dog. I work 12-hour shifts. Every video said be consistent. I can't be consistent at 2pm from a warehouse. The mat stays where I put it. That was the tool I needed."

How the Pheromone Technology Actually Works
When a dog needs to eliminate, their brain is searching for two things: territorial markers (pheromones from other dogs) and substrate texture (the feeling under their paws). Regular pee pads only address the second. They feel like a bathroom spot, but they don't SMELL like one.
We identified the pheromone compound (methyl p-hydroxybenzoate) that dogs naturally use to mark elimination spots and infused it into the pad's absorption layer using a time-release system. The scent is released slowly over 300+ washes, stays detectable to your dog but not to you, and mimics the natural markers dogs instinctively seek.
When your dog walks near the pad, their nose (300 million scent receptors to your 6 million) recognizes: "This is where I should go." It's not magic. It's biology.
