This debate might be as old as time, but the search option hates me so excuse the question if it's been asked.

Chloe is going on 6 months old and we're using pee pads. When I say it's been "hit or miss" I mean it literally. Just when you think she's "got it" you walk down the hallway and in the middle of the floor is an "accident" or she'll deliberately go in another room altogether where there isn't even a pad.

Hence, my question. Would it be wiser to start training her to go outside? Is this method easier for dogs so that they can totally seperate where they're supposed to be going opposed to pads and carpet?

From reading others posts I realize I'm not the only one with this problem, but has anyone switched and if so, found one method better or easier over the other?

THANKS in advance to any that responds!
