I live in a condo, and Spike is trained to both pads and outside. It took a long time, and I think it's because you really have to think of it as two different skills.

The biggest thing I learnt with training Spike to go outside is that for the first little while, he thought outside = going for a walk. So the minute he peed, it was back inside with lots of praise so he would learn that taking care of business should be the first thing he does when we get outside, even if we ARE going for a walk!
