mine uses out-sde and inside pads..... the pads mostly when we are in the motor home because no doggie door to use at night. and for some use at home at night.......... When I get up or the DH at night we just tell the babies to go out and go potty...........this helps during the night where the pad isn't usually used. you might consider a doggie door. How long do you leave him alone? Does he sleep with you?
