My 5 month old pug/beagle is very well trained to his puppy pads, way too trained! He won't pee or poo anywhere else, even outside! Its getting so frustrating because nothing we try works, I brought him out straight after his meal yesterday and kept him out for 2 hours and he still waited till the second we got in the door and went running for his pad!I feel like I'm running out of time to correct this behavior but nothing seems to work, Can anyone please help!

Pee pads are very confusing to puppies and dogs.
The only way you are going to curb this behavior is by slowly taking the pads out of the picture. Only leave them out when he is not going to be supervised 100%.As soon as you see him sniffing around the area where the pee pad is, pick him up and take him outside. Every time he eats, drinks or plays take him out to do his business. When he does praise like mad and offer a small reward, like a piece of kibble.

Try moving his pads to an area outside where you want him to go. Reward him every time and eventually take it away. My dogs go in the exact s

Try taking a pad outside where you would like him to do his business, maybe he will start using it outside, and then start going in the grass.
