My yorkie puppy just will not potty outside! Yes, he has done it a few times but he thinks the house is his potty. I have him on a schedule with him being crated and then going outside regularly. He will stay outside for a long time and then come inside and use the potty. I thought having my mini schnauzer around would help because he is 100% housebroke. I just don't know what to do anymore. I thought about the fake grass potty patch or puppy pads. I've always had problems with puppy pads years ago, my puppy would tear them to shreds! I've never had a yorkie and my previous dogs were all sooo easy to train! Would you switch to another method?

Thanks so much!
