Great
Pattern Name: Detachable high wall
Great quality, easy to clean, fit well the standard pee pad (24x24). Hopefully I can get my dog well trained to not have any accidents.

A Game Changer for Puppy Training!
Pattern Name: Detachable high wall
I recently purchased the PAWISE Dog Pee Pad Holder Tray with Splash Guard, and I have to say, it has made a significant difference in our puppy training routine!
First off, the size is perfect for my small to medium-sized dog. The 23.6-inch tray provides ample space for the puppy pads, and I've found that it holds them securely in place — no more slipping or sliding around, which is a major plus! The detachable high wall is a great feature, as it helps contain any messes or spills, keeping my floors clean. The splash guard really works; we had some initial worries about our puppy being a bit of a scatterer during pee time, but this tray has nearly eliminated those issues.
Cleaning it is a breeze. The tray is easy to wipe down, and since it’s designed to keep everything contained, I don’t have to spend a long time cleaning up after accidents. I also appreciate the durable material—it's clear that it's built to last.
One thing I didn't expect was how much my puppy took to it. He seemed to understand what it was for right away, which made the whole potty training process less stressful for both of us. The high-wall design gives him a sense of enclosure that I think he finds comforting.
Overall, I would highly recommend the PAWISE Dog Pee Pad Holder Tray for anyone who's in the midst of puppy training. It’s functional, easy to clean, and has made our indoor potty routine much more manageable. This product is definitely worth the investment!

Fur Family Necessity
Pattern Name: Detachable high wall
How have I gone so long without this in my life? I've struggled for a bit with my older dog and the messes he makes. He loves this potty pad and now I don't have to clean up as many messes as I once did. The holder cleans up easily and as long as he's not chewing on this, it should last a good long while.

We really like the idea and ease
Pattern Name: Detachable high wall, Pattern Name: Detachable high wall
Right out of the box, it comes with pee pads included, which is a thoughtful touch and lets you start using it immediately without needing to buy extras first. The design is simple yet highly effective, especially for dogs who tend to lift their leg or accidentally aim a bit higher than expected.
The removable high wall guard is one of the standout features. It does an excellent job preventing urine from splashing outside the pad area and keeps surrounding floors, walls, and furniture clean. Because the splash guard is detachable, it can be removed easily when needed, making the entire unit extremely user-friendly when it comes to cleaning and maintenance.
At 23" x 23", the size is generous without being bulky. It offers plenty of space for small to medium dogs to move around comfortably, and it gives puppies a larger target area as they learn proper potty habits. The frame holds pads securely in place so they don’t bunch up or slide around, even if a dog circles or shifts while using it.
The durable plastic construction is another strong point. It feels sturdy, not flimsy, and holds up well to daily use. Cleaning the plastic is simple—usually just a quick rinse and wipe-down is enough to keep it looking and smelling fresh. Changing out the pee pads is also quick and hassle-free, making upkeep easy even on busy days.
It keeps messes contained, simplifies pad changes, and offers a durable, spacious setup that both dogs and owners can appreciate. It's a great choice for indoor training or long-term use.
