Dog - potty training?

Question

I have a small dog (13 lbs) and he's not really house trained. We don't put him in a crate and he's alone most weekdays from 8am - 4pm, so it's hard to imagine he can hold it all those hours. As it is now we have pee pads out in one location and he goes there. But, this doesn't seem like a good long term solution and my husband and I are tired of it. We just don't know how to re-train him! Ideas? Suggestions?

Answer 1

If you have a back yard. You need to put up a fence and a doggy door in your back door. If not you can get them to use a litter box just like a cat.
