 Cold weather+ yorkie puppy
Hi,All I just recently joined a while back and I have a yorkie pup named Minnie. The breeder pee pee pad trained them and that's what she suggested. I've never messed with pads, always crate trained+ schedule but the weather is unfortunately cold on most days. We have a crate set up like one of those potty training apartment crates(basically a crate with a divider insert with a cutout for a dog to pass thru) with one side a potty pad and the other is a sleeping area. She does GREAT with that set up but once she's out(we have other pads in the other areas of our house,half the time she won't mess on them. So I'm thinking we just confused the puppy and should we ditch pads(everyone says it just teaches them its okay to pee in the house) but its cold out....and I want her fully vaccinated before taking her outside. So any suggestions? And sorry for the long post. |
