Welcome to YT!!

What my Brother did with his Mini Pincher is, he would stick the potty pad next to the door, and whenever he saw her go to use the pad he would say “ Do you need to potty” and then he would take her out to potty, and then reward her. That worked great for her she was potty trained at like 4 months, she is now about 10 years old and kind of having accidents on the rug, but it isn't her fault.. my Brother doesn't always get to her in time. He now put a doggy door in the door to get out to the garage and then a doggy door to get to the back- she has been doing better with that set up.. I know once they get to a certain age you more so have to tend to them.

Peanut seems to go on his pad more than going outside too.. I have no idea why. As long as it is one or the other I’m fine with it.

How old are your dogs?
