I'm in the process of housebreaking my 11 week old puppy. When is a good time to start taking him outside to potty? Right now, he uses the pee pads sometimes, and sometimes we take him outside. And, of course, he still has accidents on the floor. He's really good at holding it when he's in his crate, but he will let us know when he has to go (when he's in the crate, other times he will just surprise us). And if we can't get him outside in time, he uses the pee pad right beside the door. Well, he will pee there, but he won't poop. He refuses to poop where he pees. He tends to poop in random places around the house
This is my first time ever housebreaking a dog and I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
