Looking for advice from anyone who has trained their yorkie to go potty inside on pad and outside in yard. My 12 week old baby is doing well going outside. She will pee every time I take her out, and now I know her Poop time and I will take her outside for that as well. My question is.... I have her in a Ex pen at night and during the day for the time I need to get things done. I line the pen with two large pee pads and she just goes everywhere. I have not worked with her using the pee pads inside the house, because I wanted her to be able to go outside first. I only want her to use the pee pads inside in an emergency. haha
I just don't know how to go about getting her to only potty on the pad inside. I only have her outside of the pen when I am there to play with her and know that she just peed outside. Do I just put a pad on the carpet and keep putting her on it? or do I only put one in the pen (and not cover the entire floor) and reward her in there first? I want to try and eliminate her going all over my carpet while learning. I understand there will be accidents, but want to try and avoid them if possible. Thank you so very much!!!
