My Yorkie is trained both to pads for when I am not home and also to ring a bell to go outside. Yes it can be done.

I also had an older Maltese (RIP) who I trained to pee pee pads at the age of 13 after she had been outdoor trained her whole life.

I would recommend washable pee pads, and use her own urine on them to entice her to use them
Great advice, I too am in Toronto, and the first winter when Razz was a pup, we peepad trained him. In the spring and warmer weather, we went outdoors, now even in wintertime he goes outdoors, but he is full grown.


However after his shots were completed we did go out for walks. If he got cold, as sometimes he did, I put him in my parka to warm up.

Your pup will need some warm clothes, but wait until older to buy,(unless you are going to walk in the winter weather) some booties for our extreme days of cold n snow.
