  I know a lot of dogs have success using the pad if you spray a training aid on the pad. I read plenty of posts about people putting a pad just outside the crate or near the dog's bed. Thankfully it never gets too cold in FL for outside but it definitely rains a lot during rainy season, too much to take Yorkies out especially with poisonous frogs. I feel bad now that he goes right for the pads instead of a walk. I still take him out and I am trying to teach him to ask to go out but I digress he goes to the pads. I am going to look into training him to ring a bell to go out,  |
