I had a pack of 3 girls, all 3 years apart, at 5 months old they were all 100% pad trained with no accidents and had free roam of the house, after they had all their vaccines I started training for out side potty, at 7 months old they were 100 % trained to do their business out doors, no accidents in the house. They were on a schedule, fed same time every morning and every evening, walked same time every day, even if they made on the pad they were still walked. When I got my 4th baby 2 of my seniors had passed, I had a 6 year old and the 8 week old, I followed the same routine. Puppy was confined to a small area until she was 100% pad trained which was at 5 months old, again, after all vaccines I began the out door training, again always on a schedule, at 7 months old she was 100% outdoor trained. Feeding and walking must be on a schedule. Rain, snow, sleet, they were walked. I rescued my boy when he was 2.5 years old, he was outside trained, he will only do his business out doors, he knows what pads are as his prev. owners trained him to use pads, I do leave one down when I know I will be out for several hours, he will not use it, he will wait until I come home to make outside. He squats to pee and no marking in doors.

Schedules, consistency, and patience are key factors.
