This is a great question and something I was wondering about too! I'm hoping to get a puppy in the not-too-distant future but wasn't sure what would be the best way to go...I will be moving back "home" to my parent's house and they have a big outdoor pen that they used to use for their doberman to do his business (they never kept him out there, it was just used for going potty). So, it's an ideal spot for the dog to learn to go...HOWEVER, in 2 years or so, we are planning on moving back east to Ontario where there are cold winters, etc. and I will likely be purchasing a condo then, so I don't know if I would want the dog to go potty outdoors or pee pad/litterbox indoors.
Would it be easier to train it to go indoors from the beginning or can they be re-trained as adults? Hope I'm not hijacking your thread, just thought since it's more or less the same question I might as well ask it here
Thanks!
