Socialization: A dog is exercised outdoors which means that the dog interacts with other dogs and people while developing social skills.
Environmental protection: Making use of the outdoors to relieve one self goes a long way in reducing the use of disposables and this is better for the environment.
Disadvantages:
Time constraints: The need to take the dog out regularly may take up your time.
Weather impact: Bad weather (such as rain, snow, high temperature, etc.) may affect the convenience of outdoor training.
Environmental adaptation: It may take a while for a dog to adapt and become familiar with a new environment.
General advice
If conditions permit and if there is enough time as well as efforts, it is perhaps a better idea to take your puppy out for training as it is also beneficial for the dog's physical health, and his socialization as well.
In case you stay in an apartment which does not have space outdoors, or if you are busy in your work and cannot get out frequently, the use of Pet Pads may be a more convenient solution.
