Hello everyone, I am new to this so bear with me. I have just got a 9 week old yorkiepoo . Learning about the breed. I have named her April. She is breath of spring. I wanted to know how often and how long do you leave a pup in her playpen? She has pooped and pee in the house won't use pee pad but will pee and poop outside. We live in colorado and winter is coming snow will be deeper than she is tall. So what can or need to do? Help please thank you

Welcome to YT :-) would love to see pics of your new cutie. I myself use an xpen, which works great because there is plenty of room for her bed area, food and water area, and a potty pad holder. This is how I got Gizmo used to potty pads. He's doing amazing now with them at 4 months. I have one out of his pen as well now, and because he learned how to use it in his xpen, he now goes directly to it go potty when he's running around the house. He hasn't had any accidents in probably about a month. The xpen I have it the medium richell rectangular, which is the biggest one they make. Hope this helps :-) also you might want to try a pheromone spray like the little rascal spray to spray on the pad, that unlike the natures miracle one, which smells horrible, the little rascal spray I can't even smell but he sure can. First time I sprayed it on the pad, he immediately went on there and went potty :-)

Hello and Welcome to YT! I used to gate Piccolo in the kitchen when I was at work and she was a puppy. She liked to potty on newspapers but hated using potty pads. I have no idea why. You could try something like this or an xpen. Or even snow shoveling a path for your puppy to get outside and do her business, while you are out there with her.
