I leave my pee pad trained girls with my Mom & Dad when I go away on vacation. My mom thinks pee pads are gross so insists they do their business outside, however she does leave a pad down.
She treated them as if they were new puppies taking them out after dinner, and first thing in the morning and after play-time. The girls got treats and praise for pee pee outside. After a few days they were dual pee pee trained! We'll sort of, they understand the pattern and they do enjoy doing pee pee outside. This past Christmas one of the girls stared at the door , my Dad took her out and sure enough....she did pee pee. They seldom use a pee pad at my mom's because they keep them on the routine. I have always had better luck outdoor training opposed to pee pee pads, I really think it's a pleasure for them to pee outside.
Good Luck!
