I am a new Yorkie owner & have never owned a little dog before. Only large dogs and they have all gone outside to do their business. I have a 5 mos. old Yorkie that was trained to pee pee pads and I have had her 1 month. She seemed to to ok with the pee pads at first, but now she is peeing & pooping on the carpet whenever I take her out to play with her. I always make sure she has recently used her pee pad before taking her out of her pen to play. I don't want to confine her al lthe time to the pen, and I'd like to let her have more freedom around the house. Is she just too young to have more freedom? I thought she was potty trained, but now I guess not. I have also tried to take her outside to do her business and she won't go on the grass. In fact, she just eats rabbit poop out of the grass when I take her out there to go! I am feeling it is a lose, lose situation. I'd really prefer she goes outside to do her business anyhow, but we live in CO and it is often snowy or soo cold for my little one. she shivers like crazy outside & the wind literally blows her over. she is under 3 #. can anyone give me some advice on what to do? Thanks so much
