The breeder let the puppy (5 mo old maltese) use puppy pads instead of going outside. We will be getting him soon. What is the best way to get a dog to progress from the puppy pads to going outside?

Throw the pad outside........and leave the door open for a few min at a time........remember you have 7 min after a pup eats or drinks
so open the door then. You are more training you !

I just went throught this with my pup.
1 put the pads by the front door.
2 instead of using two or three pads, start taking one away, leaving the puppy with less room to pee and poo.
3 Take the pads away completly. If you aren't going to be home for long periods, put one pad down. But not when you're at home.
4 If you see the pup start to pee on the pad, IMMEDIATELY take it outside and praise for going ouside.
I hope this helps. Its getting nicer out, and the feeling of independence will start to show in the puppy when it realizes that going out, means praise and maybe a cookie.
In time the pup gains more control over the bladdar and will hold it for longer periods of time.
If this doesn't work, put the puppy in a crate. They won't pee where they sleep.
Good luck.

Slowly move the pads outside and give him some dog cookies.. will take a while but not too long he is 5 months. u should be able to train him in less than a month...

put the puppy in a large crate with grass covering the bottom. It will get used to going in the grass
