The problem is that when you teach your dog it's good to go on pads, in the house, you are teaching them that it's OK to go in the house. The inside/outside distinction is easier for them. I know people have all sorts of reasons they like their pads and that's fine as long as it works for them. I personally feel it's a compromise, not an ideal solution. JMO. Most people on here seem to disagree with me.
autism mommy I am NOT picking on you or anyone. You are just trying to get information. I just think I am just seeing a pattern here (on YT) and I'm wondering why. Why don't you explain a little more what your situation is, your needs, your expectations, etc for housetraining. That will help us respond is a more specific way. |
Well what im thinking is this I have a 6 month old cocker s. he does pretty good with the potty outside I dont use pads with him at all. I was thinking if I took them both out at the same time would it be confusing to them? Will they want to play instead of pee? Pluse Ive never had a dog this small so Im thinking will she wanna go in the snow?plus ive had one near her crate just in case and she will go on it so I thouight it would be eaiser. Not in a lazy was becouse I take my cocker out but less confusing. also my cocker hummer can hold it in his crate all night no problem. But will molly since shes a small breed?
