I am in a bit of a dilemma. My girl who is 2 years old is pee pad trained but my 8 month old boy isn't trained to anything. I want to start crate training them and training them to go potty outside but what about when it's cold??? I would much rather them be trained to go outside.
Where do your babies go potty?
P.S. We live in a apartment on the 2nd floor but acsess to the grass isn't that far.

Well, I live in a house with a fenced backyard. Both mine go outside mostly. Dixie always goes out, but Lucy is not completely trained, so she uses the pee pad if no one is home to let her out. Both of mine are crate trained as well. Rule of thumb with crate training is a puppy can hold their bladders for 1 hour for every month old they are. So if you crate train, be sure not to leave them in there longer than they are able to hold themselves or it won't work. I'm sure that there are many more users on here that have much better advise for you!! Good Luck!

Jinxy is pee pad trained. I live in an apartment too. However, she pees outside when she's in my art studio. She goes to the door and asks me to let her out. lol It was easy to train her to go outside.

My babies always go potty on their puppy pads because we have hawks all around our area, so they do go for walks once or twice a day, and they'll go outside when I take them out, but I don't let them outside unless I'm with them (my fiance is a bit of a MaGoo and doesn't pay attention to things like I do), and unfortunately I can only take them out for a walk once, maybe twice a day.

Well they made my mind up for me because it has been raining here all weekend and they do not want anything to do with outside when the weather is like that. Plus Jimmy has done really well these past two days......only one accident.

Yea I am not sure what to do about Rocky myself. When I take him outside he will go, no problem. He is old enough to hold it for 3 hours. The problem is that when he is in his Ex pen 50% of the time he will go on his pad and the other time he will go on his blankets...It frustrates me soo much. Also I will take him outside and with in an hour we will be playing or he will run around the house and before I know it he will pee a little on the rug...Is this just from getting excited? How can I break him of these habits???
