hi everyone, i just bought my first yorkie (yesterday)and he is 14 months old. he is housetrained to go outside, but i live in a condo and have a patio for him to go on. but now in my second day, he is not thrilled to go outside on the cement. so i put down wee wee pads and he finally started going on them. i would like him to go on the wee wee pads when we are not home and outside when we are home. is this possible?
do i crate him or just gate him in an area?
how can i get him to use the wee wee pads without lifting his leg and peeing all over off the pad?
if i leave him all day, like 8 hours, should i not feed him any food or water? should i put a wee wee pad in the crate along with him?
any advice at all would be appreciated. thanks
