| With my experience I'd say yes you can. My third baby was a rescue and was trained to go potty outside. I tought her to go potty on the pad because my other two are pad trained. It took a few months but she's got it down pack and now has free run of the house. |

YT 1000 Club Member | I was wondering this also. Winter will be here soon enough (too soon) and Roxie hates going out in the yuck. She's done well going out all this summer but not when it's raining and such. Most of the time if she goes in the house she's been going on my throw rugs. At least I can throw those in the washing machine. Thinking if I put a piddle pad over the throw rug maybe she'll get the hint? |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I have no experience with this, but I was wondering if you could place the pee pad outside and direct her to that than gradually bring in closer and closer to the house, and finally right outside the door. See if she will do use that, and then next you could bring it inside. Giving a treat for going on the pad, would help her learn.

| Check your local pet supply to see if they sell a spray that smells like urine to the dog (no smell to us humans, though). It gives the dog the idea that I should "go here." We used this to spray on Selah's pads while she was training and it really helped her know where to go. |

| Yes, and it's much easier than you might think. I have my little Feather pad trained and my others go outside but I have a blind girl that had many accidents inside and now uses the pad almost every time because she can smell her way there and has never "asked" to go outside. She would always go and stand at the door but if no one noticed her she would just go on the floor. Now I keep a pad at the door and she just uses that if she had to go |
