He's smart, but impatient. If you don't go with him the moment he requests your presence, he will pee on the floor where his piddle pad should be, or poop on the carpet. That'll teach us not to listen to him.

I trained my 14 year old Maltese to pads, and it did take a few months, but she got it. (her health was declining and i didn't want to make her go out in the cold any more) I kept her in her own separate space during the training, and covered it with pee pads so she would have to use them, and gradually took one a way at a time.
My three current babies, were all trained both ways from puppyhood, so they caught on pretty quickly.
I know exactly what you mean about MinneCOLDa winters...

Again...more hope!

Oh yes..we say MinneSNOWta all the time too...I like MinneCOLDa that fits too!

I gotta try and re-train Chibi to pee pads since we live where it snows now and I'm working again. I never told him pads were bad but I think once he learned outside he feels weird going inside. I feel bad because I think he holds it as long as he can before he goes on a pad. Hopefully I can teach him its ok!

No, he's not impatient, he teaching you that there are consequences to your apathetic behavior. I've got to side with Kaji on this one!

He is impatient! Kaji doesn't let me have 2 seconds to rinse my hands. There are times we're cooking, and I don't want to touch his stuff after touching raw chicken. If I'm on YT, it's easier to just walk away, and tend to Kaji. I wish my mom would just remember to put Kaji's piddle pad back after she moves it.

Excuses excuses. Maybe Kaji can't wait!

Sure, take the yorkie's side. The human never wins!!

my yorkie is almost 2yrs old, i am still having difficulty with him not always going on the pads, my oliver likes to lift his leg & pee on the dining room table leg,. usually on or near where he needs to go. problem is my ollie somtimes dosent go out in the middle of the night either. very much an inside dog. i blame it on my not being home during the day (@ work). i think it is very doable but you need to be very diligent before they establish their bad habits. good luck, im still trying & wishing for better accuracy.
