I'm mainly training Hercules to go outside, but it has a twist. I've mentioned this before, so sorry if you've already heard... We built a little box on our balcony and put a pee pad in it. We live on the third floor of an apartment, so it was rough running up and down the stairs all the time. Also, the balcony is right off the living room, which is where we spend most of our time with Hercules, so it works very well.
I live in Maryland, and we get all 4 seasons as well. I've found that when I take him out, he usually does his business fast and doesn't seem too cold (even though I might be sometimes). Good luck!
