Maximus doesn't go outside at all...he will hold it in...I am in NY also and I don't think that it is practical for us to have them outdoor trained (solely) due to the EXTREME cold and if we aren't there all day...but I did want Maximus to learn it was okay to pee outside....our trainer suggessted gradually moving the wee wee pads towards the door (over a 2 week) time frame...when it get to the door put it outside and encourage them to pee on it outside...I thought Maximus to pee on command but he still won't go outside unless I put a pad down and that is still VERY rare!! |
