I have an 8 month old yorkie girl and I am getting ready to move into a new house. I have to say she isn't the best at potty training, but I take responsibility for maybe giving her too much freedom. Right now she goes inside on the pee pad and outside as well....she has many (as seems to be a pattern here) accidents in the house with no regard. I feel that it may be a good idea to make the transition to outside only when we move. What is the best way to go about this? She does have a crate although I do believe she needs a smaller one. (any recomendations on size? best place to purchase? price?) I gave up on the crate training because she was going in the crate again with no regard..I've heard this is because she had too much room. Should I stop with the pee pads immediately when we move and begin crate training? If so, I do work 8 hour days and can't come home during the day. Is she old enough to hold it that long? Sorry to carry on so long, but I'm moving into a brand new home and don't want my precious pup to destroy it. I love her dearly....but we need help!!! Thanks in advance.
