Okay so now its time to start training.... Roxy goes on the pad perfectly. She pee's and poo's on it with hardly any problems I mean granted she sometimes goes on the edges and SOMETIMES gets on the floor but other then that she is good.. BUT the pads are getting costly. I don't want my apt since its so small to smell like a dog all the time. I want to start training her to go outside.. When we are outside and she is playing she goes pee sometimes poo but not all the time. What are some tricks.. I have her in a metal crate during the day. I start work at 7am so she is left in crate small enough where she can lay and turn around, I get home at about 12:15 to let her out but sometimes she goes inside crate is that normal. She sleeps in this crate so I find it odd.... When I leave to return to work she goes back inside crate with no problems and I return at 4:15 to let her out again. Once she goes should I be putting her back in again. This is all on the pad by the way I want to start this outside. Sometimes when we go outside on the leash she gets distracted. We don't go outside allot but we do she gets distracted with the birds and leafs. How exactly should I do her outside potty training.
