Unless you are going to be home 99% of the time with a puppy, you need to have
puppy pads so that he/she can go potty when you are not at home. Their little
bladders can't hold it for a long time.
In my case, it isn't rain or snow, but the times when I am sick or in too much
pain to be getting up all the time to let them go potty. They know to stay in
the bedroom with me and the puppy pads are in the master bathroom. They use
them during the night too. Unless we are still up and right by the back door,
they will not want to go out potty when it is dark outside. When I go out,
Dolly has a puppy pad in her area and hasn't used it for over three years - but
it is there just in case she needs to go. I would put one down for Desi when I
was going to be gone for a while, and he would use it. But, one day I forgot
to put it down for him and came back and everythng was good...haven't put
another one down for him in months now...I think if it was there, he felt like
he had to mark it - but without it he held his bladder and his poop rather than
go on the floor or on a pile of his toys.
