I feel your pain with this one, Harley has had every thing from pads to litter to outside to finally I broke him in a ex-pen, I put it up outside with a tarp over it, and when It rained I ran out and put him in it and locked the door,,till he did his business, as soon as I saw him finish I would let him out, only after he would go. He started to get it that if he hurried up he would get out and a treat for him to. I took the ex-pen down last week only after about a month and he is going outside to the door, and I tell him hurry up go potty, and He does , this dog is 10 months old now, just in the last month has he potty broken. I think the pee pads where a big mistake, it trained him to go in the house, what a nightmare to get him off of them. First and last time I will let a puppy go in the house like that, It really messed him up on going outside,. good luck to ya, the tarp thing worked great to keep rain off of him, the wind kind of scares him though, but, I just ignore him when it is blowing hard and act like I just exspect you to go anyway, I dont show anxiety about anything anymore, these dogs pick up on it fast, assurtive and assumptive, that is my motto.
