I just got a puppy. I can only take it outside once a day. Do you have any advice on training her with potty pads.

Full Question:
Hi! I just got an 2 Month puppy (Golden Retriever/Lab/Cocker Spaniel mix) from the Humane Society. I live in an apartment with a roommate and our puppy doesn't have access to a yard. We take her out once a day, but that is about all we can do and it isn't like a huge green area. So we are trying to train it with the potty pads which I read you are against, but its the best we can do. So do you have any advice on training a puppy with the pads? We are also doing the crate training as well, but when its time for her to go to the restroom we try and make her go on the pad. Please, some advice would be great! Thank you so much!

You cannot reinvent the wheel. If you cant take the dog outside then hire a dog walker to come and take it out. Anyone who says they can only take a dog out once a day should not own a dog.
