| Training when you have more than one Yorkie ... I'm curious about how people with more than one Yorkie (or foster homes) manage to train all their dogs at once. I'm working with my Tika on getting her paper trained and she has her good days and bad days. I can't imagine trying to paper train several dogs at once. When there is an accident, how do you know who had the accident? The reason I'm asking is because I have room and lots of love for a second rescued Yorkie, but want to be fully prepared when the right Yorkie comes along. Common sense tells me that I shouldn't introduce another dog to our home until Tika is 100% trained. But I definitely want to be ready when our next rescued Yorkie comes along. |

| I have not had experience with two at once, but common sense tells me you do the same for two that you do for one. No one gets house privileges until paper/pad trained. That means harness and leash, tethered to you so you can watch them every second. When one signals to go, you take them both. When one has an accident, you correct it and take both to the pee pad or outside if that is what you are doing. Consistency is key. Also, you need to anticipate potty time: After sleeping, before sleeping, after playing and after eating, and sometimes after drinking. If you cannot watch them, they need to be confined to their "room" with pee pads available or to their crates.
