It's been a year and a half and my male has gotten the idea that he pees outside, but pooping is done inside the house, so he will go on his pad. He is really sneaky too because he's been scolded for pooping inside the house, so now rather than think that he should go outside to poop, he thinks that he should watch me carefully... wait until I am not looking, then sneak off to do his pooping so that he doesn't get caught in the act! This is driving me insane! He should know by now.
