Both my boys are trained for both, I will not take them out at night or in the rain. The puppy loves to be out in the rain, he's my little maniac, but between frogs, snails, and slugs I won't take the risk. The only negative thing about the pads is the puppy isn't learning bladder control because he can go on the pads whenever he wants. My older male did the same thing as a puppy and it took him a little longer to learn to hold it instead of squeezing out a dime size pee on every pad. I feel that the potty training has been a lot easier since he's been using the pads and we only have an accident inside 10% of the time. Pretty good, in my opinion, for a 15 week old.
The only part of potty training on pads I hate is that I have to have pads in every corner but when he starts to learn to control himself I will start removing one pad at a time until we are down to two pads. My older Yorkie was down to one pad at about 1 year old. |
