[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

We do have pee pads in our house (the washable one) but our three are trained to go outside mainly. We have a doggie door which made teaching them to go outside very easy, they go when the need to. But we have the pee pads for during the day when no one is home (we close the doggie door when they are by themselves). And for the last week, we have had ice or rain and the grass is all muddy so we just have let them use the pee pads to help prevent mud in the house.

We got Captain at 12 weeks and within two weeks he was 90% trained and now at 17 weeks he is 100% trained either to a pee pad or outside. He learned so quickly and is crated at night and has never had an accident in there. During the day he is in a X Pen and has a pad in there he uses and never misses.

I say use whatever works for you...we did want worked best for us and have all three of them completely trained by 6 months with just the occasionay accident.
