Potty pads, crate training, or outside?

[melemel10]

Hello Ive my Chica 6 days now and im all over the place on the training.. I have a crate she sleeps in at night I tried pads for the first 4 days had a bit of an issue with them dont understand how in the world a 2lb pup can pee on them walk off and pee on the floor 5 mins later. and Im watching to make sure she goes on the pads.. so plan B im getting the (northstate superyard xt) 2 marro but I hve to by a rubber floor to go under in because I have carpet thur the house.. So I guess im wondering how it should be laid out for her.. and should I go in there to have play time with her.. Im confussed can anyone help??

I use potty pads as well Bee is just so small that she cant hold it long, she is only 4 pounds. Yorkies have a more difficult time being "outside trained" because they are so small so their bladders are little. She is 100% potty pad trained, yes she does go outside too. But sometimes I dont think she should need to go out yet & she does, so she runs into the kitchen & goes potty on the pad. I only have one pad in my house, in the kitchen they dont smell for us either, like a liter box smells really bad I guess(I wouldnt know I dont have a cat) but these dont, when they become full you can throw it out & change it, I get "lots" of 1000 for around 20-40 dollars on ebay. Becuase they are much more expensive at petstores, just makes sure you have enough so you never run out. I have a pile in my basement

no I didnt, every time she would start moving like she was going too go to the bathroom I would pick her up & take her to the closest pad. when she was littler & first starting training & had more pads over the house. & then she favored the kitchen. but anyways...when you start taking her over to the pad when she ready to go to the bathroom, makes her know that the potty pad is where she is supposed to go to the bathroom. She learns that she is allowed & supposed to go there.

Let me know if you need anything
