Any advice on Potty Training?

I have 3 furkids-- 11 months, 17 months, and 6 months. The two older ones are 100% potty trained on pee pads... the 6 month old is about 85% trained... she still has the occasional accident.

I want to transition them to outside to potty... any advice?

put the pp pad close to the door, take them out often, if they do a pp outside reward them, get excited and tell them good girl good boy..you can teach them to go pp on demand also,, but it takes time..

It can be done. once they have no accidents for like 3 months, you can feel you did it...

good luck..

Are they free roam or crate?

I crate Sam during the day when Im not home. He gets into so much when IM home, I cannot imagine when Im not here, lol

He uses the pads and outside both. I just watched him closely and figured out his routine. We go outside quite a bit when Im home, weather permitting.

Good luck!
