Well, not sure why he's not drawn to it, most dogs are. Hopefully, he'll go on it soon.

I rarely comment on potty training, because we have a huge storehouse of threads about it. As a trainer I encourage people to train for both. Yorkies are generally smart enough to quickly understand outside and a washable pee pad are both ok. Most will prefer to go outside.

Thanks, Theresa.

An update-We moved the only tv in the house into the living room (it was in the bedroom) so now we spend most our time in the room with the outside door and the potty bells. He is now constantly going to the bells to be let outside (even when he doesn't have to potty!) but if he lays down outside, I stay outside, and he quickly comes back in when he realizes I'm not coming as well.

As for the pads-yesterday he pooped and one of the small pieces landed on the pad, so i took him over to it and praised him, and moved the other pieces onto the pad in hopes he'd get the hint. He's had one other poop accident, not on the pads....I just clean the spot with nature's miracle and put a pad over it in hopes he'll get the drift.

He used one of the pads last night while we were sleeping...Woohoo, happy dance!

Of course, it wasn't the one closest too the bed, or the back door...but I'll take what I can get right now.
