Hello Brady
I had problems training on the pee pad (lots) So I didn't take he pad outside... however I still have them in the house just in case. I had 5 days off work and decided to nip this thing in the bud. (6mths old) and good weather forcast I was able to take him from 40% trained to 90% and she went from 80% trained to 100% let's cross our fingers... I did everything you mentioned in a later reply with taking them out lots of love and treats for "good potty" every 1 1/2 hours. It was a lot of work and patience but It has payed off my house is finally not spelling of pee or vinegar! For small dogs their poops may be smaller but they make up for it in frequency!
Hope this helps sorry for not replying earlier but My husbands been monopolizing the computer with school work.
