Mine both go outside. I did try the pads with myah when she was little, but she wouldn't go on them. I got both dogs in February, and though it was COLD out, they both were going outside. In all types of weather they go out. We have a bell by the back door and they let me know when they want out. We also fenced in a area for them to go out...I just open the door and out they go. I watch from inside as Myah, comes right back in...Chloe' has to walk around forever before she goes.
We travel a lot with the dogs and even in the motels/hotels we don't have a problem with taking them outside.
I think you need to at least try and see what works out best for you.
