Well I had a discussion about this very same subject yesteday with someone and they were like you should train Lola to go outside and NOT use the pads and pop her when she has an accident and rub her nose in it when she does and on and on and on... I said that I DO NOT "pop" my dog when she has an accident which is very seldom and when she does that I find her accidents AFTERWARDS which she will not understand why she is being spanked after the fact?!?! I believe that whatever method someone else "chooses" do as far as training is their own buisness. I don't have the convinience of working in the same town that I live in or someone to let my dog out when we are not home. I would think trying to train her to go outside also would only confuse her? It would sure confuse the heck outta me...It's not hard to do just consistancy which I KNOW that I cannot have if I work all day and do not have any one to depend on to take her outside! I dont expect my baby to hold it all day until then. Sorry ya'll...I had to vent cause it made me mad
