| We do, I have no choice actually. We live in the country on a large farm and do not have a fenced yard. There are so many stray dogs, neighbors with large dogs that are not leashed and left to run wild. There are also hawks, owls and coyote. I would never take the chance on letting them outside, even on leash especially after dark.

Also, we have a couple of eagles hanging out in the trees..yikes they are huge!! it works fine but I change the pad every time she goes (I dont want her stepping in it and it looks/smells yucky. So we go though alot of pee pads a day... |

YT 1000 Club Member | Hi, I use wee pads exclusively for Romeo (and it will be almost 4 years since I've had him). As a matter of fact he is so well trained that he will ONLY use his wee pads. No matter how long I keep him outside, he will "hold it" until he gets home and then makes a bee line for his wee pads! P.S. I order the disposal pads in bulk (100 per box) and I go through about 8 a day -- no exaggeration.

| I use them exclusively for Lilly right now. I hope she will use both eventually.... inside when the weather is bad or I'm not home and outside on nice days, etc. She goes through 3 or 4 pads a day. I have her wee on them 4 times usually..3 if they are big wees. She is being trained with treats to go on them, so she will go the tiniest dribble and go stand where the treats are kept to get one.

| Ahi used to be exclusive with wee pads. She goes indoor and out now that we have a home with a fenced back yard. It makes it easier on rainy days that she still can go on a wee pad.

| Have you thought about using washable pads? I use disposables because mine go potty outside except for when we are at work. We go through 1 potty pad a day, I couldn't imagine 8!! lol

| Bentley is exclusive indoors. Of course he is still a baby. (13 weeks tomorrow) But given the fact we live in an upper level apartment and I work 8 hours a day he will continue to exclusively potty indoors. There have only been a couple of nice days that I felt comfortable introducing him to outside. Showed no interest in potty.

| Scooter and his sis Bitsy use wee pads when I'm not home. I use one for him and one for her. They are very good about using them only when I'm not there otherwise they use the pet door to go out in the yard.....fenced.
