YT Young Pup | You can get puppy pads that is what I used for Kudos. And he is perfectly potty trained. if they do go potty I bring them to where they went and say did you do that, that is a bad boy. And remember if they make a mistake once in a while ts okay. Everybody makes mistakes.

YT 2000 Club Member | I have 2 girls....one is 10 months and 1 is 5 months. The oldest is outside potty trained and it took me 8 months to get her trained! The 5 month old is already potty trained! I pad trained her and then when the weather warmed, I started taking her outside to potty, too! She was so easy to train! I think it is because she has her pad to go to if I am busy and don't see her at the door wanting to go out. So if I was to do it all over again, I would pad train first....besides when you need to take them potty during the night or when it is raining, it is so nice to have the inside pad! Tatiana just turned 5 months today and hasn't had an accident in 2 weeks! I hope this encourages you to do what ever is easiest for your situation. Take them potty after naps, after eating and before bed.....keeping a schedule is best and they seem to learn more quickly!

| Congratulations on your soon-to-be new addition, Maxwell. My boys are pad and outdoor trained. They have a pad at all times in our home, but they love to go outside too. I blogged about potty-training here: Potty Training Small Dogs - Dog Life and Style . . .

| My Oscar is 1 yr 8 months..The day I brought him home at 11 weeks I started with the Litterbox.. He was very stubborn and it took forever but he finally got it. A couple weeks ago I decided to try Outside Potty Training for him . I took away the litterbox and pads . I took him outside every 30 minutes. Wow , within a matter of days he was outside potty trained. Of course all dogs are different but with My Oscar I think training to Potty outside was much easier than box/pad training.. I wish I had done it from the start.. Whatever method you choose , it really just takes loads of time and patience.. |
