Right now i am using potty pads and she is pretty good with that. She will not go poo on the potty pad but she will go peepee. Now how do i get her to go outside? I have tried just putting her on her leash and taking her outside but she gets scared and wont go. she is a chihuahua.

Chihuahua's are very hard to housetrain. But since she goes pee on the puppy pads move them closer to the door every day. Untill you reach the door. Then put the pads outside. Take it out as much as possible after eating, napping, playing. or every 30 minutes. When you take her outside take the puppy pad out there too put it down in the same spot outside. Talk to her and walk with her so she will not get scared. When she uses it on the puppy pads or outside praise her when you see her pee or poo in the floor scold her. Never scold her for something she did 10 minutes ago because she will not know what she is getting in trouble for. This is how my uncle trained is Chi and how I am training mine!
i trained mine by watching it go potty outside and rewarding it when he (or she) does! it workd after while and when he does it on his own he just gets more and more used to it and you dont have to reward him anymore! but dont reward him too much because he will get used to the rewards and want a treat everytime he goes potty haha! hope that answers your question!
Just keep taking her outside! I would get rid of the peepee pads. Keep her crate by the door and take her out at regular intervals - when she wakes up, after she eats, and whenever you see her sniffing around the floor. I know it's alot of work but if you keep at it in 2 weeks she will be trained. (forgot to say - give treats each time she goes outside)
lock him in the backyard until he poops
i had a dog once that wouldn't go outside. she was 6 mos. old when i got her. she would only use paper, (way back then, we didn't have potty pads). anyways the vet told me to keep moving the paper closer to the door. when you get to the door, put part out side and part inside. then the last step all the way outside. when she wants to go outside , throw the paper away and take her to the grass. it worked.
she's probably afraid because she is tiny.
good luck.
we have a 6 mth old dach, and he was learning in 3 wks. take the puppy out every time she eats or drinks. we didn't even use the pads (waste of $). every time you finish playing with her, take her out. whenever she wakes up, take her out. i don't know if you're in and apartment or a house, but make sure she knows that she will be taken out if she goes to the door. when you're not home, put her in a small crate, just big enough to lie down in. she'll learn to hold her bladder so that she can just go out and pee/poop when she's let out. take her right out when you get home. she'll catch on. everyone said that dachs are the hardest to train, but he goes to the door EVERY time now.
