Sadly no puppy pads where I got her - they just 'peed where they wanted to pee'
- EEEK.
But she's getting it...Saw her make a concious decision yesterday - she got up
- waddled through the diningroom into the kitchen and did her business there -
she only did it once - but...she'll do it again and again ..hopefully.
Pet sitter there today - she came out - peed/pood on the pad immediately and
nothing in the crate - THAT'S BIG HAPPY PROGRESS...

So happy that little Charlotte Rose is now at your house. when I got Desi from
the breeder at 8 weeks, he had never been outside in his whole life. he
actually got sick in the car on the way home. if your breeder said that
Charlotte Rose had mever been outside, then she obviously was puppy pad
trained. I think putting her little coat on and taking her outside even if it
is to just hold her, will acclimate her to be outside. so maybe if you do the
puppy pads outside and gradually move it to where it is not out there anymore,
so it may be fairly easy to train her to go outside without the puppy pads.
