| A different potty training question I got my girl, Faith, a little over two months ago. She's 10 moths old now and approximately 3 pounds. I knew she wasn't fully potty trained when I got her but I felt she was in good hands with me. She isn't my first dog and I've successfully trained three others over the years (two Maltese and a Boxer). My concern for Faith is that I don't want to confuse her. She is so tiny that if the grass is damp at all she is soaked when we come back in. Plus I have to carry her to the middle of the yard and even then she doesn't go most of the time. I keep an excellent schedule for her, but I can not make her go outside when its wet. I have used potty pads with a little success. I also just purchased a Fresh Patch last week to see if she takes to it better than the pads. Depending on the weather I will either bring her to the potty pad/Fresh Patch or outside. (I don't move her indoor potty place so that stays consistent) My question is in the initial phases, am I doing her more harm by going to two places? I know Yorkies can be stubborn and I have all the patience in the world for her. I just wonder if I'm confusing her? Should I do something different? I appreciate you time |

| Some yorkies are real picky about going on the cold/wet. It sounds like your doing a good job. My two go on pads and outside, they don't seem confused and it's nice to know they feel comfortable with the pad if they need it.

| My Zoey goes on pads and out doors too. At first she would hold it until she came back in but as she got older she figured out that outside was ok. Just keep trying and I' m sure your little one will figure it out too.
