Hi, we have yoda now about 2 weeks. He is 6 months old. He does go on puppy paper. Slips alittle. I try to take him outside, but he shakes and pulls to go back up the stairs to go inside. He did pee outside twice but has not since. We have him in a fence area in our kitchen right now. We do have a 7 year old maltese that we are trying to introduce slowly to each other. Do you have any suggestions on how to train on going outdoors?
From everything I’ve ready, the way to house train a puppy is to crate train them. After the puppy relieves themselves outside they can be let out of the cage to play. There’s a lot more to this, of course. Lucy was kept in a large octagonal “playpen” with a piddle pad. She learned to use the piddle pad, both in her pen and out. Eventually she learned to use the piddle pad all the time, until I started taking her for walks. She is now three but I still have the pads out. She does not use them anymore, except in an emergency, and only goes to the bathroom outside. Check out my Chihuahua Potty Training Article.

We just got our Chihuahua. He is only 3 months old and is a teacup size. Amazing little guy…love him already. We are trying to teach him to use the Piddle Pad. We leave in an RV so we have little space. We will also training him to go outside. Whatever suggestions you can give to make the transition go smoothly will be helpful. Thanks…
When I first got my Chihuahua I kept her in a large crate at night and when not a home. I had a pee pad in the crate. Outside the crate I had several pee pads near the crate. I would put her on the pads kept her there until she did her business in the morning etc. Gradually I cut down the number of pads. Four years later I still keep two pads available for Lucy, even though I walk her several times a day. She almost never goes potty in the house anymore but if she really has to go, she always uses her pads. I am very happy!
