Has Dexter used pee pads before? If not you might try buying some of the liquid house breaking aid they sell to put on the pee pads. It's supposed to help attract the dog to pee where you put it. Most paper pee pads already have some sort of attractant already on them but the addition of the liquid may help a bit more.
I think the garage is a good idea for you and Dexter. You both will have shelter from the harsh weather. I used to shovel snow from an area for my Shih Tzu but he had a thick coat and the cold did not really bother him. Many Yorkies get cold more easily than other dogs due to the lack of undercoat. |
