Gracie was a Christmas present for my daughter and it was definitely too cold for her to go outside (she only weighed 15 oz.). We did train her to the pee pads---it took a while, punkie, so don't give up! Giving her a treat when she was "good girl" definitely worked, but she would have accidents every once in a while until she was about 3--but she was pretty much trained entirely to the pads by 4 mos. or so. Now we are so grateful she's trained to the pads because we can take her anywhere--throw down a pad--and she's fine. It's also easier when we're not home. She has the run of the house and always uses her pads if she needs to. |
