I did not use piddle pads with him. I just would feed him and watch his behavior and take him out on the grass, he learned almost immediately. I was very proud of him as sometimes it was dam cold. But he learned what outside was for. Now maybe he caught on quicker because he went out with the first dog, I don't know, but he sure didn't pee on every throw rug I had like my first dog. |
I agree! Wee Wee pads does make it ok to pee inside. I am currently training my 3 month old Yorkie to pee and poo outside and I'm almost there. She pees and poops outside, but everytime she goes into the house, she also pees one more time. I've been with my relatives for the Thanksgiving Holiday and it was sooo hard to constantly watch her. I think I need to teach her that she can only pee and poop outside and that inside is not a bathroom. So far I just put her in her crate and she never pees or poops in there. But as soon as I take her outside she does her business. When I keep her running around in the house, she doesn't get it and goes to the wee wee pads. Hopefully, she'll learn.
