I think there are circumstances that it would be great if the dog could use the pads like you say less guilt, inclement weather and traveling. I think I will go washable if I go that route. And although I've got my work cut out for me but I am very excited!

The one negative I have heard about pad training is if you have to move the pad to a new location they may not understand to go in the new place and continue to potty where the pad used to be (saw a thread about this just today). Also with traveling that may be a problem. Lexi knows anywhere there is grass, she can go. If I could, I would train for her to do both, but I'm not sure if I have the patience to attempt that!

That could be quirky for me because I go away for the summer but I 'ordered' a smart dog so we should be fine lol.
