My boys prefer to poop outside, but they are happy to pee on the pad or outside.
Teddy is really funny. He lived with our breeder until he was 8 months old and was fully outdoor trained. Now he will pee when we go on walks, but he still runs straight for the pad when we come inside. He can hold it for hours if we are out somewhere, but he is a frequent ritual piddler at home: after meals, after naps, after play time.
