I thought I wanted Schatzi to go outside.....but sometimes I wished she'd learned on the little pads. Today, for example, it's POURING outside and she refused to go. At first she ran bravely into the rain, but she just couldn't go (lol)....she was kinda freaking out with the rain and trying to shake it off
I think if you can do BOTH, it would be awesome. I'm trying to teach her to use pee pads now, but I think it may be a little late. Good luck with whatever you choose!
