Hi I have a 4 month old rotti who fortunately will go outside. Do you use wee pads indoors, if so leave this at the back door and also put one in the garden where you are happy for her to go.

The problem with puppy training is that you spend so long teaching them to go on paper, then to go outside... it must be confusing. Move the paper/pads nearer to the back door every day and then put them just outside, she will soon get the idea.

simple answer is never use wee pads or paper. When you go out with the dog, stay with her till she goes. drgnrdr posted a good website with housetraining info and a schedule that looked sensible.

Here is the website again. Read it, it has lots of info for you. I only disagree with a few points on there, but they are minor points, it will help you housetrain your dog, if you follow it. I do agree that wee pads when used will make your dog think it is okay to go in your home.

Oh welcome to AB...
