My new puppy is now 3 months old. The potty training is tottering from bad, to ok, to pretty darn decent. I made the mistake of using potty pads instead of just encouraging outdoor use. Now when we go outside, its all play for him. Then when he comes back inside he does his business.
But thats not my main worry. Being in college and both my parents working full time, we can't always watch our puppy. I love my little puppy to death and want him to be happy always. But recently my parents decided he should start living outdoors. I know dogs are pack animals, and they wish to stay with people, but it doesn't seem like its going to work that way.
I want to help his transition into the outdoors as best as I can. I want him to be happy outside. I've bought him a couple new toys, chewy items, etc. He enjoys being outside for the most part, but he wants to be with us, obviously. I just want him happy. So, any suggestions?
