Max did poo outside but would not pee outside. We trained him on puppy pads first and then moved the puppy pads outside. It took 6 months of consistency and a great deal of patience. I would take him outside every 30 minutes and just so you know I'm on a third floor apartment. It was so frustrating but when he would finally pee outside I would reward him and let him know it was the best thing ever! Also, everyone let me know that I had lost weight. All thanks to my lil' baby. Max would also pee when I came home. I was asked by a trainer how I act when I come home and see Max and I told him I would be excited to see him so he said I was making Max so excited he would pee. Here's the advice he gave me. Do not give him any attention if he acts so excited, only when he is calm. As difficult as it was I did it and he no longer pees when I come home, and he will sit when I get home and only if he is on all fours will he be petted. He's so cute!
