puppy pads or outside I use the litter box and my yorkie goes outside. The litter box is better than the pads to me. This is my first dog and she is doing so well with the litter box. I wouldn't trade anything for the litter box. I was concerned when I take her outside how would she do. I guess the dog instinct she also take care of her business outside. Since you are a stay at home mom then going outside may work for you. I work so the litter box is a GREAT thing to have. I just need them to come out with a self cleaning dog litter box |
