I'm not offended, I see your point and agree with a lot of it, I just think potty pads are meant for some families and not meant for some families.
I am huge germaphob and could not handle Snickers doing his business in the house and then walking in it and all over the home. But, if it works for others, I understand. Esp those with multiple dogs...
Snick is 100% outside trained, he will even refuse to go inside in the event of rain and snow, I've tried pads...he will just go much quicker when it's freezing and raining, but he will go. At one point when he was a pup, he would go in the garage and use the pads..but then as he got older, refused.
It works and the house stays spic and span
