Default Dog Litter train 5 year old dog?

Hello!I have a 5 year old Pug who was crate trained, so he is trained to go outside on command.I've now moved into an apartment, with a balcony, and was hoping to use a dog litter tray?I bought a pet loo, with the artificial grass on top, and he uses that fine, but I find it isn't very hygienic, as he loves to sleep on the artificial grass (in the corner he doesn't pee on)! So would like to use a dog litter tray . . .I bought a dog litter tray from Purina, but he hated stepping on the litter pellets, so I put newspaper on top of the litter. Problem is that now he likes to sleep on the newspaper, and does his business on the balcony floor (so I'm continually washing up the balcony floor). I wiped up some wee with newspaper and put that in the tray, but he will still sleep in the tray.Has anyone had experience training their outside trained dog to use dog litter? Do you use the litter pellets or newspaper?Thanks for your help!

Have you tried a smaller loo? Maybe one he can't pee on and sleep on? 5 year old dogs can still be trained it's just harder. People use a variety of "filler" for litter pans. Some folks like to use newspapers or absorbent "pee pads". Others prefer commercial dog litter or cat litter, so they can scoop out and dispose of the waste easily. A few folks have voiced concern over clumping litter (in the event the dog ingests it). Personally, I've used all types of filler and haven't experienced a problem with any of it.If you use dog or cat litter, buy a large size litter scoop, it will work best! It's also handy to get a small foot pedal "step-on" can with a plastic bucket (I found mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond). A 3 to 5 gallon size can works perfectly. I also use a standard diaper pail lined with a plastic bag in my dog room. Whenever the "step-on" pail is full, I empty the can into the diaper pail. This saves a lot of time, and my trips to empty waste are infrequent. Best of all, the diaper pail is designed to contain odors!
