I did use pee pads when I was housebreaking our Yorkie, maybe just put one by the door or in a box by the door? She won't go out in the rain, she acts like she's sugar and she'll melt. LOL This will be our first winter with her maybe she too will like the snow. I'll just have to be real carefull on the really cold days. I always watch them or go out with them. |
If you put vaseline on the bottom of their paws on the really cold days, their pads won't freeze. I live in MN too, and my Yorkie is trained to both, but she prefers to go outside most of the time. When they are lifting their legs up like they hurt it, it is because of the pads freezing or ice forming between the pads.
