Loki is outside trained. We never used pads. I don't get the big thing with pads. He went outside from the first day we brought him home. Yes I still need to get up and let him out even at night and yes we crate train him and can't leave him for more than 5 hours or so, but it's not confusing for him and he never thinks it's OK to go in the house and he is used to grass. If given the choice, he generally prefers mulch to grass but whatever - it's all outside.
If you are going to outside train you should crate train and do it not while she's still a puppy. It's a lot of work but it's worth it!! You can even get a doggie doorbell to help her tell you when she needs to go out. |
