I am getting my first puppy ever on July 1st when I move into my new place. I will be getting a mini Daschund. What is the best way to train this dog to go on a weewee pad?

I am not a fan of pads, but if you treat them like I say the outdoor spot, it may work. See https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/information-articles-our-dogs-expert-labman-53153.html#post251809 There is other info in the sticky you may find useful.

We have a mini doxie and when we first started potty training we used a box on our patio with newspaper (she ate the puppy litter we tried). We put her in the box often and especially after naps. I won't say there weren't plenty of slip ups but after about 2 months she was pretty consistent about using the box. During that time we also took her outside a couple times a day so she was also used to grass. At about 8 months old she suddenly stopped using the box and would wait to go outside. It's all good as long as it's not on my floor.

You could use the pad, but my pup uses Feline Pine in an extra large litter box. Feline Pine comes in pellets that are made of ground up pine tree shavings. The litter does not smell and does not track around on the tile or the carpet. It does not tend to get in their toes either. Plus, it is great fertilizer. I haven't had a problem with my pup eating it either. He tends to eat the pads. He especially loves the spray that is supposed to prevent the dog from pooing in a certain spot. He has yet to poo on the grass. I have spent many a day sitting outside in a chair waiting for him. The person that I got him from kept him inside because he was the runt of the litter. I didn't get him until about 9 weeks or so because he was small. So, I am still working on the whole grass thing.
