How to train a 3 months old to pee outside? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

wait a minute guys. Am I the only one? 3 months, that's 12 weeks. i didn't even put my Uni on the ground outside until she was like 5 mos old! What about the rest of the vax? At 3 mos I cannot imagine any pup being 100% pad trained!

I would do a potty patch or just pad training until spring. Uni was pad trained. When we started to walk her, she trained herself to pee outside. They just sniff around and then go. Much easier to pad train then outside train, than the other way around.

I still have not done my homework on vaccination schedules to make sure our vet did things correctly. Maximo was outside walking around before he was 4 months old, more for exercise than potty training. Hope this wasn't the wrong to do.

Guliverandmaya, Capt Noonie is very wise to caution you not to take your pup outside until she has had all of her vaccinations.

According to my vet, after the secont shot, you can take your puppy down for a walk. And belive it or not, Maya is 100% papaer trained at the age of 3 months. It was so easy to train her...

But I think I'll wait until March to start training her becuase its way to cold now.

-10 it's cold, maybe wait untill it's about 0 at least.
then again when you gotta go you gotta go, just give her two minutes, if she won't go within 5 mins I would go back in. I would at least try a couple of times. You can put some clothes on her. Don't be too long just untill she pees and right back. Bring treats with you for a reward!
