I think when you differentiate between outside and inside, he will "get it" quicker.
I know it's inconvenient for you with the weather but eventually, sometime in the future, you will be able to go out there and get it done in no time and come in. (make sure when you go outside, that you are using a potty command so that he learns what it is and what you expect of him when you go out. |
taking the pee pad up right now. I want to do what is best to get him trained. We are going on a trip this weekend for a week. He will not have a potty pad so this is the perfect time to start the new system.
