[Tiger's Mom]

Tiger and Annika are both trained to go outdoors and indoors . . . . Annika will pee and poop outside if she needed to and she does sometimes on our walks after being in a crate for a few hours. Same with Tiger. However, when in the house, they are confined basically to the laundry room unless I let them roam free. Annika will seek out the pad whereever she is. Tiger, I still have my doubts so he wears a band. But if in the laundry room, he tries to get it to the pad but always misses which is really starting to frustrate me. How to tansition Maddie to go use a pad I haven't a clue. But transitioning from pad to outdoor sure was easy for me . . . . as I just made sure it was really time for them to go.

I hate being outside especially now that it gets dark so early. My surroundings are very woodsy so it sure does scare the heck out of me so I just NOT take them out in the early mornings and evenings, so I rely on pads all the time. The only time I take them outdoors is during lunch and the ground MUST be dry as I hate for them to get dirty
