I'm trying to make her pee outside more then inside and it doesnt seem to be working. She doesn't like cold weather and better yet-she hates snow. I'm guessing thats bcuz shes only 2 and a half pounds.
Anyone got tips?

ok...you cannot tell her to go pee until she is ACTUALLY doing it...you cannot say it before or after, you need to say it when she is in the process of doing it---come up with a command word, in my case with Fiona, i tell her to go pee pee, or go poopy, however i only tell her while she is doing it. after she goes i really praise her, run around with her, give her treats, let her know she did the right thing. if you are out in the am and know she has to do both things and only does one, and your out there for like 20 min, bring her in and put her in the crate *if your using one* and then leave her in there for about 10 min, and try it again. If you come up with a word, make sure your entire house is using the same word. I have fiona going on command now, and now she is going when i tell her to go squat, and quickly! she literally squats when i say that! Consistancy is the key! Fiona is now 10 months old and was fully potty trained at 3.5 months old! just be patient, and it will all work out! I know since she is so tiny it may be difficult, especially if its cold out, but hey if your using the pads plus teaching her to go outside, im sure she will figure it out! good luck!
