I don't have any advice but can sympathize with you. Natalie will be 2 yrs this month and I still can't get her to go outside all of the time especially if it is wet. I never could get her to go on the pads, she just tore them up. We just brought home a new puppy a couple of weeks ago and she is better about using the pads but is losing some of her training and following Natalie's pattern of using my rug. I won't go into all of the things I have tried but if you find a solution, I would love to hear it. As my husband and I say all the time, it's a good thing they're cute!!
