How do I train my pee pad trained dog to go potty outside instead?

Question

My grandmother has a Yorkshire terrier and she has him trained to use pee pads. She can no longer take care of the dog and he is now mine and I can't not have him peeing in the house. Any tips on how to re-train him to go outside? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 7 lbs

I'm glad you are taking Bojay! It can be difficult to retrain an older dog but the good news is you are half way there because he uses pads. If you put his pads by the door and let him use them a few times, then gradually move the pads outside. Eventually he should look to go outside and you can stop using the pads. Just be persistent, good luck.
