Personally I would remove ALL area & throw rugs & put the peepad where you want it. I have seen this so many times & I think the pup thinks that those rugs are just a different kind of pee pad & then they are put where the dogs pee pad used to be witch is where the dog is used to doing their business. Kinda confusing for the dog. As far as doing part of their business outside & finishing inside, take the dog outside & while they are actually in the act of doing their business tell the dog good boy/girl go potty/poop outside. I have always used this method & never had it fail me & it also teaches them to potty/poop on command witch is really nice when you are in a hurry. |
