Lily's housetraining isn't going so well (she's 10 months old). It's not that she won't go outside, but she doesn't seem to get the concept of letting us know when she needs to go. I've been keeping puppy pads out for her because I can't spend my day letting her out every 10 minutes hoping I hit the right moment!

My question is this: Is it confusing to her to have pads inside but try to train her to go outside? If I don't keep the pads down she just goes wherever she pleases. I don't mind the pads because they are easy to clean up but I'm worried she'll never learn to tell us she needs to go outside if I keep using them.

HELP!!!!
