I have 10 chi's plus I house fosters until they are placed and all go outside in good weather but mostly they use wee pads. I bought trays for them to keep the younger ones from playing with them. I also bought a treated fire hydrant from pets.com or Dr foster to put on one pad. It is treat with an attractant and cost less than $20 with shipping. Lets the boy hike without using my furniture!!! Good luck\Carol Anne and Crew
