I think you are making it too complicated for the dog. How are they supposed to know what is bad weather? (Loki loves snow, I hate it.) How are they supposed to know they can pee on the the pad at your house but they can't pee on the rug at someone else's house. Inside/outside distinction is very clear to dogs. You are better off picking somethig and sticking to it. Eventually your dog can learn to potty on command, then you can use that to tell them where/when it is OK to go. Loki would never pee on mulch until I told him it was OK. Now he will go in mulch if I tell him to. |
