Hi just about to add a new member to our family but I have some questions!

I plan to crate train my new yorkie when we get him and keep him in a puppy playpen when he's not supervised to help minimise accidents!

I have 3full months off work which is great as I can dedicate all my time to training him. I want him to go potty outside most of the time but eventually I'll have to leave him home alone for a few hours when I go back to work so I was thinking I could have potty pads inside the playpen while I'm away. I would lift the potty pads in the evening when I get home and take him outside for any other potty trips.

Will 2 methods of training be too confusing for him?

Thanks for any help:-)
