6. Our dog was house trained.

She went outside in every kind of weather. (Even Chicago!) When she was 9 she had nerve a condition that caused her not to be able to blink on her own. If it’s too windy or well below freezing, we can’t take her out. We bought a product called fresh patch and put it in the garage. Works like a charm because it’s real grass.
They last about 2-3 weeks of you only use it during bad weather. Our dog had no problem understanding.
However, I would think you’d need to establish potty training first? Or, maybe it can be part of training since the garage or deck is “outside”. I’m not sure about wee-wee pads. But, I do know lots of little “city” dogs use both inside wee-wee pads and going outside.
