They also learn not to just go to a corner in the kitchen but to go to the door, get a leash on, go outside, etc. It is a routine that easily transfers to another home. |
I understand that but I'm a single father and there are times when he has to stay at home alone for 8 - 10 hours (not often), usually he's home alone about 6-8 hours while I'm at work.
I supose I could re-do his potty training and train him to go outside. I know it can be done, it's just way too convienent for him to use the pad inside...
