There is something outside that your furbaby isn't loving--and its ok, it takes a small amount of time to get them used to pooing in the grass. My Lillie is crate trained and I think this has helped TREMENDOUSLY! At first it broke my heart to leave her in that cage, but she's on a schedule now and she knows its part of her life. The first thing she does when she gets out of the crate, is goes right to her piddle bad and does her thing. I HAVE to watch her though, because if I'm not there observing, she WILL go on the carpet. We are gradually moving to outside. Maybe try following a schedule? Here's what we do:

---7am-UP and TO the piddle pad, back to crate bed till 8am
---8am-9:30 breakfast and playtime!
---9:30am-12noon crate time or we like to call it "Lillies Personal Time"
---12-1:30 OUTSIDE to potty immediately, lunchtime, and playtime
---1:30-5pm crate time
---5pm-7:30p OUTSIDE to potty immediately, dinner time and playtime!
---7:30-9pm - OUTSIDE potty time (again before bed)
---9pm Bed Time!

I know I sound like a drill sergeant but its not as hard as it seems. I PROMISE that if you found a new home for your little one, you will regret it and miss her dearly! It'll work out, just takes time! =)
