doing toilet outsid hi,pepsi is now 13 weeks old so we take him at least 3 walks a day but he refuses to pee or poo outside,as soon as were back indoors he goes on his pee pee mat,is there any way to brake this cycle??it must be confusing for him as we have spent the last 5 weeks encouraging him to go on the pad. |
Mine are pad trained as well as outside. Best way to go in my opinion. I wouldn't worry about his preference to potty on his pad since he's so young and it's what he's comfortable in doing. Just keep taking him outside once in awhile, and when he's ready, he will start "claiming" his territory for sure. ;) |
You should read You Had Me at Woof by Julie Klam. She had that same thing with one of her dogs and just accepted it. Her books are so funny! I laughed so loud one night reading it, I think I woke the neighbors up. |
Gracie was trained on pads but later learned to pee outside. At first she was unsure about peeing outside. I think she thought she should only pee on a pad. She would smell where other animals had been and do a real quick pee thinking she was being sneaky. Every time I saw her do this I would tell her what a good girl she was. Eventually she realized it was a good thing. But I did not try to train her to the outside until she was about 6 months old. Thirteen weeks is kind of young to change his routine. Small dogs take longer to train as a rule. At this puppy's age he has to potty very frequently. It is going to be difficult to get him outside as often as he is gong to have to go. Only watching him every minute and getting him outside when he starts showing signs of having to go will prevent accidents. He is too young to have control over his bladder and bowels. That function starts to develop at around 16 weeks. That is just a start though. |
All I have been doing with Mickey is at key times ie after food, first woken up is take him in the garden its safe and secure its hard work, I use "toilet" and "hurry up" followed by its cold, and have treats with me so he knows when he goes he gets a treat and get back into the warmth. I'm not a fan of pee pads and this is the first time I have used them and that is only because I had a litter of 5 pups that were too young to go outside. I get up with Mickey every 4 hours and so far he's doing great the best pup so far regards to toilet training so fingers crossed he continues |
