My dog won't go potty outside. Only on wee pads.
I have a 1 year old neutered dachshund. Puppy pad trained. He will not ever go potty outside. I take him first thing in am...alone or with the other dogs. We walk and wait then walk and wait. 30 min. Go inside and he goes right to his puppy pad and pees on one and poops on the other. I've tried patting his tummy area outside. Praising hugely the other dogs (females) when they pee and he smells where they pee. Fortunately I can afford puppy pads but I'd love to have him per outside. I've asked my husband to go per on a Bush and show him but he won't . Parker was a rescue that we got at 8-10 weeks old. I regret even using a puppy pad. Parker goes out every time the girls go out. Any thoughts?
Have you tried putting the pee pad outside?
