I bought one for my new puppy thats coming next week and as soon as he gets here it's the first place I'm going to take him. I will have it set up on my deck. We don't have a fence and he will be somewhat protected from the elements when the weather is bad, but I want him to know from the start he goes the the bathroom outside. If I have to leave him for a extended period I will bring the potty inside in his X-Pen so he'll get the idea if he has to go he goes there only. Hope it works. I'll let you know how it's going later. Good luck to all of us.
