I have 3 yorkies and the largest is 6 lbs. The cold doesn't seem to bother him, but he is a little over weight and I think the extra fat keeps him warm. Now, my 2 and almost 4 pounder are bothered by the cold! Tatiana is always in a t-shirt and now a jumper or pajama as she is cold in the house! I layer her when we are outside and she is pad trained. She goes outside when the weather is warm enough or just to follow me to the car, otherwise she stays in the house.
I don't know about pad training an adult dog but is is probably possible. Maybe you could take her potty in a covered patio or area out of the elements. If not layer her just as you would your self as protection from the cold! |
