 ppad then outside?
hi im new today & im so glad i found this board as i was almost at the point of thinking of giving him up (but i adore him) but im way too over that. anyhow frankie is only 9 weeks & i just started to really get on his rountine for the potty training deal.i think i was giving him WAY TOO MUCH freedom. i also am a proud owner of an akita & they get along AWESOME!
anyhow i was wondering should i train him on the pee pads in my home on the first floor, 2nd floor in the bedroom bathroom where i have strated to put up a baby gate type of thing with his crate in it for nite time, & in my office at work at the cafe? & then move along to outside after he has that down pact or start with the outside training now? my yard is too big without a fence right now & itll be a sort of an inconveniece at the moment too. the thing is that with my akita he started to go out in the garage (i know gross but it was a routine & worked) & then just automatically switched to outside as he got older & liked it when we went for walks. so now he holds it till morning, i get home form work, & at nite! & im afraid for the lil one to go with him as the big dog goes pretty far out to do his thing & we have trees behind there. thanks |
