| ![]() Wrigley is litter box trained, but she will go outside as well. I'm sure there more people on here that have their dogs go in and outside and could probably give you better info. I would think though since you are gone 9-5, you would have to leave pads down. I don't know if a Yorkie could hold it that long! I know Wrigley can't. I would think if you left pads down while you are gone, but take him out when you get home and keep that routine, he will get the idea. I love crate training, Wrigley sleeps in a crate at night and we have a regular baby playpen for when we are gone for longer periods during the day. I would say an xpen would be a good idea during the day, I think they like smaller spaces. They tend to feel safer. Sorry that I can't be more help!

Donating YT Addict | ![]() I don't know how much this will help you but our Baby is in an xpen with pee pads down 2 days a week while we are at work. The other 3 days he is at puppy daycare. We are lucky that daycare has trained him to go outside so when I take him outside for a walk or play he goes potty. I have started to reduce the size of the pee pad area in his pen and when the weather breaks I will be really diligent about taking him out when I see him head towards his pad so hopefully he will get it that when we are home he goes out when he is alone use the pad. We do plan on always keeping a pee pad down somewhere in the house as the weather is so bad and the snow so deep he can't go potty outside most of the winter. We also crate at night.
