Confine the dog and use the pee pads in an enclosed space such as bathroom. If she is not with you, put in crate or bathroom with the pads. Take a wee spot of pee to scent pads. And is she doesn't like to go outside once she uses pads you can take one outside and reduce size when she goes outside. I always have pads in my bathroom just in case. Alice was 7 mos when I adopted her so the pads meant I could sleep better.

I am back though but now have one computer for 3 people for now. I have a 4 month old chi, She is basically just learning house training now. She was brought up with going on the rug until I got her. She is learning that she needs to go outside, but still without knowledge will go on the rug. She refuses to go on Linolium (Where it would be easy cleanup). Come this winter though we have snow where we live and our small area where she can go outside gets soaked with mud and standing water. Any suggestions here. We have tried getting her to go in the bathroom or kitchen where it is ok and easy cleanup, but she refuses! We have tried even laying down paper and training pads for the carpet to try to protect them. But then she refuses to go on them, and will just find a new spot. HELP!
