    My pooch won't 'go' outside...

    Kona has been going on his puppy pads on the balcony great! Now that he has finished his puppy shots, he has gone to doggie daycare and to the dog park. He will not go to the bathroom outside. We stayed at the dog park almost 2 hrs, he played really hard . I watched him closely so I could reward him if he went.... But no go. I thought maybe I missed it but the minute we got home and I let him out of his travel crate, he went right to the door...... He went to his pad , the bladder was full. They told me that at his daycare he uses the pads almost exclusively. He has been twice thus week. I have also walked him a few times. All he does is sniff and explore. No potty Any ideas?

    Take one of his used pee pads outside and show it to him.  Maybe he'll get the idea.  You might have to do it a lot.  He's gotten into a habit and changing that will take time.

    Jackie is right, just be consistent and keep a used pad outside he'll get it, Kona is just a pup yet and still figuring things out. Keep us posted.
