We use pee pads as well with Kiki. She only goes on her pee pad and never on the floor. It is so easy in a way like others have mentioned, not going out in the rain or snow or cold weather. The only problem we have is Kiki is so trained to her pee pad spot that she will not go outside at all and will not use a pad if I bring it out with us to anyone else's house. She will just hold it until we get home. I really want to train her to go out and use the pad as well.
