Hi Jamie! I have two yorkies, Simon is 2 and Hallie is almost 4 and they both use potty pads all the time! I got Simon in Alaska as a puppy and it was much too cold for him to go outside so I started on the pads and he still uses them. Hallie was 2.5 when I got her and just followed Simon's lead. I'm in NY now and it is cold here as well so I have pads in my apartment that they use! I hope I'm not weird
I tried the litter box system but found it messy and Simon wanted to play in it all the time! He prefers the pads so that is what we use!
