WHAT? They told you that you were lazy. Obviously these people are clueless as to the merits of pee pads.
I have managed to succesfully train mine to do both. Yeah for me.
I started out by putting the pads wherever they chose to pee. They were confined to the kitchen only. Then I gradually started moving the pads towards one location, the back door. If they went back to pee where the pad had been, I put one of their beds in that spot. Meanwhile I also let them outside frequently. I fenced in my concrete patio.
I read on one of these threads to put the poee pad in one of those shallow, storage boxes, that fit under the bed, to keep them from peeing off the edge. I did that and it works great.
Now both of mine use the box, or go outside with very few mishaps. I still don't trust them enough to give them the run of the house. One is 6 months old, the other 4 1/2 months.
I'm proud to say they are doing great.
I'm planning to put in a pet door when money permits.
