I was reading the "walkies" threat in the Chit-Chat forum and was noticing how several people said they only walked their Chis every other day.
Do most of you have paper-trained Chihuahuas?
I'm not having much luck with Puck. He'll use his pee pad sometimes, but not others. He pees on it most of the time. But he's finicky somehow--he'll only pee on it once, and even if it's in a corner he won't pee on it again until I put down a new one....and they're kinda expensive. And he barely poops on it at all, preferring to poop in front of the door or in the middle of the hall way or on the bathroom rug.
I got the Purina litter box...but he has a tendency to eat the litter and refuses to get in it. I think he doesn't like how it shifts around his feet.
He prefers to go outside to poop, and just last week I started walking him every day. On weekdays I walk him immediately when I get home and he goes. I mean to walk him at night, but it's only a few hours and then it's dark...and I'm not an active person. On the weekends I walk him at least twice.
If we had a yard, I might try encouraging outside pottying, but we share a quadplex and there's no fence.
What do you guys recommend?
