| Likes to potty outside and not on pads.... Hello, My 10 week old male yorkie just came home 5 days ago. I'm training him on pee pads (because I thought it was the easiest and less confusing), but I'm finding eveytime I take my other dog out side to go potty he follows and potty's too. Just today: Potty pad ~Once early this morning. Outside~5 times. We only wanted him on the pee pads because we thought it would be easier for him but he dosen't seem to want to use them, he will sit on them for long periods of time and very seldome will use them. Since he is willing to potty outside I think I should train him to go outside and just leave the pads in the house for the just in case. And leave potty pad in his sleeping area. -Do you think this sounds okay? What are your thoughts on this??? Thank you, Angie

| It sounds like your older dog going outside has helped him. BONUS!!! lol I would leave a pad down in case but I would definately encourage the outside potty. Potty training can be one of the most frustrating things to go through and it sounds like your automatically steps ahead with this little one. Congratulations... and I'm jealous.

| Potty I have a male that will go both outside and inside in his potty pan. I have 3 that use the potty pan and 1 that goes outside and he is the youngest and he follows the others. Sometimes the older one help teach the younger ones both good and bad stuff. LOL

It's only been 5 days. But I consider it a good sign since he came from a home where they were able to potty anywere in the house. I'll leave the pads down until I feel he's 99% potty trained (which I see can take a long while). But I consider it a bonus too! Now watch this jinx me... So where abouts in Michigan are you located? I'm SE one hr north of Detroit. How many yorkies do you have and how old? How is your training going? Thanks for all your support. And lots of luck to you too!!!!

Wow.. Sounds like you have your hands full. I envy you for taking on such task. My little one will follow the older dog, but the older dog dosen't want to have anything to do with him. He's 7 years old and the pup is 10weeks. I can't get the pup to stop jumping on him. I know he's just wanting to play, but the other dog dosen't. Hopefully in time they will both get use to each other and things may calm down?? Thanks for the support.

| Sounds awesome to me! If he'd rather go outside, that's great. I'd prefer to keep the poop OUT of my house at all costs, LOL
