Snickers is about 5.5 months old now is a big boy weighing in at 6.5 lbs (he has some identity issues he thinks he is a very large boxer like his bother
). He has only had three accidents in 3.5 months. He will go outside and use a pee pad if he can't get outside. I can even let him have the run of the house when I am not home and I don't have to worry about him going potty in the house. I do plan on getting him fixed in the next couple of weeks. Anyway, at his last check up the vet told me that she does not think much of pee pads and if I am not gone for long periods of time she doesn't see the point of using one. She thinks that a lot of people get into housebreaking issues with small breed dogs because of pee pads. I have no problem with getting rid of them I would much rather prefer that he goes outside. The only thing is that he does not like to poop outside. He will pee everytime I put him out side but will usually poop when he comes back in ( always on his pad). When I removed the pad he still pooped in the same place that pad used to be. I don'e follow him around the house so I don't always catch him. I have decided to leave the pad down so he will have a place to go poop. If I see him pooping on the pad I will have him go outside but he runs around crazy like he doesn't know where to go. I not quite sure what to do. I have got it easy now. He goes outside when he is out and on the pad when I am not home (execpt for the poop thing.) My vet just feels like no potty inside should mean no potty inside.
