Lola uses wee wee pads while she is at home during the day, and I take her out for a walk (weather permitting...she doesn't like to be cold or wet) when I get home and she goes pee pee outside as well. However, with winter weather arriving here in Ohio...it is really too cold for her already, even in her sweater she shivers as soon as we step outside, so we have had to transition back to nearly 100% wee wee pads.
I have not had any problem with transitioning her from inside to outside and now with the cold weather back to inside again. The wee wee pads I use (Nature's Miracle) are supposed to "smell like grass" which may be what's helping her to transition so easily? Not sure if this is true or just some kind of marketing ploy. I also noticed that the poopy smell depends a lot on what the pup eats....Lola is on royal canin for chihuahuas and her poopy hardly smells at all (of course we flush it as soon as it appears, but you get the idea)

ottytrain5: Re: poohing a lot.....Lola only poohs after she eats (2x per day) and they are just tiny little poops. I read that if they are going a lot that means the food is not high quality as it is leaving too much material undigested...I believe I read that in dog training for dummies or maybe it was chihuahuas for dummies :?:
