Welcome, My Kodak's ear's went up then went back down and never went back up again.
They told me I left to much hair on his ears and they weighed them down. He's adorable, floppy ears and all. Your Baxter is a cutie pie.
When I started taking him outside, I put his poop from inside in the grass so he could smell it when we went out. I had to be patient and keep him out long enough to use it. I even tossed a ball around to make him play outside then he would stop and pee, then he would poop. Everytime he pooped on the pad, I put it outside in the grass, lol, it worked to. I then had to notice the tell tell signs of watching him run fast in a circle looking to pee or poop. I then took him right outside and I gave him a tiny treat once he used it. Try to keep the pads confined to one area. If they see a pad in each room, they think they are free to pee anywhere in the house. I took other's advice on here and tried not to let them in another room until after they used it outside or on the pads first. Good luck!
