But Jackson has never been one that would take to pads. He potty trained outdoors at a young age and has always needed lots of space and sniffs before he will pee or poo. He's a bigger Yorkie but even as a youngster he went out in the snow. I think it's best when they're young and adapt to it quicker. I know a lot tinier Yorkies than him that do fine outside in cold for quick potty trips with no coat or anything on. For long trips outside, that's why they make boots and coats etc!

| Where is Alaska yorkie for his input here? I'm afraid that I also live in a pretty non dramatic climate. It rains all winter but rarely gets below 35 degrees. We might have a couple weeks in the year that get about there, very minimal snow if any (omg! It dusted!) it does get really windy out where I live in the gorge, like news worthy car door ripping off windy And it rains ALOT. I love potty pads and will never regret my decision to go that route, lilah is perfectly happy with them and they meet our needs well- but if we were outside potty only, I would be hesitant to cause confusion. We have lots of sweaters and dresses- I have such a hard time keeping track of dog shoes and want to try some cute ones from alldogboots.com (one of our members I hear can keep shoes on an octopus!) we have rain jackets and coats too. Can't imagine Lilah being very comfortable without those. Also looking forward to hearing the stories from people with 'real winters'

Most likely, your pup's not going to react positively to the boots/shoes at first so you'll need to be patient. My two wouldn't move in them which is why I went with the wax. | |

| Thanks! I'm sure he's not gonna like it too well at first, but I've been putting socks on him hoping that will get him used to it. So far with the socks the worst part is putting them on and after that he's fine. Hoping for similar results with the boots!

| My yorkie love love loves being outside and the great outdoors. She is a terrier through and through and needs plenty of exercise and fresh air. Since I live in a place with cold winters (NYC- this will be Moxie's 2nd winter with me as I rescued her last Feb) I've had to find a way to keep her warm since indoors all the time is hard for her. I have musher's secret for her paws and always wipe them when we come in from the snow. I have a variety of options for clothing, including light sweaters, a hoodie, fleece coat, wool sweaters (I LOVE chilly dogs brand for wool sweaters), this coat Skyline Puffy Vest and this coat for when it's really cold Pet Life Ski Parka Dog Coat | Sweaters & Coats | PetSmart I got legwarmers from etsy but they weren't custom ordered, turned out to be too big and fell off, lol. If it gets as cold as it did last winter, I will order her a snowsuit so she can go out and I don't worry about her leg muscles freezing. They have great dog clothing and shoe options at Dog Clothes, Dog Clothing & Dog Fashion at BaxterBoo and a ton of sellers on etsy make dog sweaters, scarves, leg warmers, etc |

| I don't look forward to winter. Neither Duke nor Mya like the cold ground, and Mya absolutely hates snow so I end up shoveling my back porch and spraying it down pretty much everyday. Duke will atleast go to the edge and use a bit of grass as quick as he can, but Mya is all "heck no the porch is just fine" with her little prissy self.

| Oh to add they both have winter coats now. Last season Duke wore his coat and Mya is small so I carried her in a bag/purse that was sherpa lined when we go places, and put a fleece lined hoodie on her when she went outside because it stretched better over her long hair.

YT 1000 Club Member | I have winter coats for all 3 of my Yorkies. They wear clothes in the winter a lot as well so the coats will go over their clothes. I have no idea what the puppies will think of snow! On really bad weather days I might just take them to the enclosed patio (no heat) and see if they will use a pee pad there or just let them use the pee pads inside. They only use the pee pads if they have to go between outside trips right now but in really bad weather I would love for them to use them all day. I don't want snow, but at the same time I can't wait to see if the puppies like it!

| I feel so bad for him. As I was putting on his sweater and coat this morning he started shaking like he knew the cold was coming! It's 32 degrees and I'm so glad I have his coat, but I need to get him boots and quick! I was going to order some I found online, but I think I might just have to make a trip to petsmart. He holds one paw up after feeling the cold ground like "really mom, you're going to make me do this?" Lol poor Chewie.
