Hi there, just looking for some advise or opinions on re-potty training.

We have trained our Yorkie (4.5 months old) to use pee-pads, and she has done pretty well with it. We did this mostly because our winters are really REALLY cold here in Manitoba (-40 and colder) and thought it would be really unfair to make a small puppy go outside in that cold all the time to potty train. We were thinking of re-training her in the spring to go outside.

Has anyone ever tried to re-potty train, are we asking for trouble and just going to confuse her? Does anyone have any tips for making the transition?

Thanks!
