I prefer to use peepads. So many factors, my unpredictable work hours, Michigan winters, convenience of mid-night potty breaks, etc.
I also like that because she is used to going on her pads, I can take her (and a pad) anywhere with me & she's fine. I've put a pad down in the trunk of my car, my friends bathroom, my kids dorm room and no matter where it is ZoE knows to go on it. It makes traveling with her very easy, which is good, cos I don't like leaving her home alone if I don't have to.
Congratulations on your new puppy. Yorkies are exceptionally smart, so I'm sure Teddy will continue to amaze you in the coming weeks
