Toto is trained to wee wee pads but also likes to go outside too and act like a "big girl".

It's really great when we are traveling because we won't allow her to go where other dogs go ... just show her a pad and she's on it!

My girls prefer the potty pads and the boys will go outside or use the potty pads. I use the washable pads,

Bear uses indoor washable pee pads but he will go outside if we go for a walk.

I did both with Poppy. It worked out really well. Between the excessive heat and the monsoon rains we get, there were times she just did not want to go outside.

With Abby and Max, we are working on just the potty pads. It has been between since I got them 106-110 and that would be way to hot for their little feet. They do like to go outside in the enclosed patio so I got a potty pad holder so I can put a pad out there without it blowing around. (Abby has already figured out how hit the blinds with her paws to let me know she wants to go outside.)

I loved how easy it was with Poppy when I traveled and took her with me. Whether it was a friends house or a hotel, all I had to do was put down a pad, snap my fingers and say go potty, and she would squat and go. Then she always knew where she could go. Worked out great.

I have a 9 month old and he won't even use the pee pad, he just goes where he wants!! I keep him contained in my laundry room when im gone but he prefers to tinkle on the floor...next to the pee pad...?! It is very frustrating for me. How do I teach him to use the pee pad? He prefers to tear them up!! Please help!!
Thanks!!!

My situation has always made it much easier to potty train indoors because I worked and didn't think it was fair to ask a little dog to wait all day to go outside. It has always worked great. I'm retired now, but still don't want to be going outside at all hours in all kinds of weather, so indoor training suits me and my furkids.

Bentley goes on the potty pad, but he also goes outside when we take him outside on a leash. Best of both worlds I guess. Right now, he is all inside because he just got the big snip snip.
