If you want her to go outside, stop using the puppy (wee wee) pads RIGHT NOW. Most puppies are confused by them and will think that because it's OK to pee on the pads, it's OK to pee on the carpet, on clothes, on your bed... basically anything that feels the same as the pads.





Step two... take her out every 30 minutes. If she pees or poops, have a party for her right there, with lots of praise and a treat or two. If she doesn't, bring her inside and either attach her to her leash and her leash to you or crate her.





Step three... she must ALWAYS be either in her crate or tethered to you if she's not outside. If she starts to pee, take her right outside, let her finish up there and then praise like mad. Every time she pees inside, smack yourself because you weren't supervising well enough. Do NOT punish her... it will only cause problems later.





Step four... when you can't supervise, it's crate time. No blankets, pillows, towels or anything soft and peeable in there. She should have just enough space to stand up, turn around and lie down... any bigger and she can pee in one corner and lie down in the other. She should still be going out at LEAST every hour... if you leave her in there for longer don't be surprised if she soils it.





Step five... If she doesn't go pee when she's outside, bring her back in, put her in her crate and then take her right back outside 15-30 minutes later. Do not stop to do anything, just pick her up out of her crate, carry her right outside and put her down.





Step six... If she refuses to pee outside after a couple of trips, take her for a bit of a walk. Moving around can help her get her bladder and bowels moving. If she goes, praise praise praise.





Please recognize that as a small dog, your pup will not be able to go a full 8 hour work day without a trip out until she is 8 months or older. She can go a MAXIMUM of the number of hours she is months old... so at two months she absolutely cannot go any more than 2 hours. Going out more frequently will help her learn to go outside faster but won't increase her bladder capacity so don't think that onnce she stops messing, she can go four or five hours.How do i train my 2 month old maltese to use the wee-wee pads and go to the bath room outside?
well for the outside one:


if you know what time or what your dog does when it has to go,take it outside immeditly and if you start doing this everyday it would learn that it has to go outside so he/she will sniff the outside door you take it in and will let you know it has to go!
crate train. take him out after waking up and before going to bed, eating/drinking, and play session. learn the signs that he gives when he needs to use the bathroom.
My dog for some reason won't pee on a wee-wee pad either.But he will go outside.He just learned naturally.
