| Problems with potty training. I'm new to this site and so excited to have a community where there is so much information on Yorkies! I have a 6 mo female Yorkie who weighs around 2.5 pounds. She is pad trained in our condo and has been so successful until recently. I was very consistent pad training with her since we got her at 8 wks and she's been doing so well barely having a accident. Just recently (past two weeks) she has been peeing on the puppy potty but will not poop. In the past I wouldn't even have to take her potty she would just know where to go and go. We live in a high-rise condo in the midwest so I thought this would be the best way for her to go potty...especially in the winter. I am constantly with her during the day so I know she's not doing it for attention. She's not spayed yet, so I wasn't sure if that had something to do with it...any suggestions? |

| I'm having similar problem - my daughters boy Deeogi was doing very well going outside and pee pads. For the past 2 wks he has been peeing everywhere except pads. He pees on her bed, on her clothes & shoes and all over the floor Poor thing she's trying to be very patient with him. We've had to go back to crate training again. Does anyone know why they do this? Oh by the way he just turned 6 mos

| Sometimes traumatic things can cause them to regress.. but sometimes they just regress naturally. Also, as puppies grow into their "teenager" stage (I believe that's like 9-12 months), they can become rebellious and want to test everything. Just like a real teen, I suppose. From what I here, it's a fairly common occurrence. Just start all over again and hopefully they will pick it up quicker.

| Mine will be 6 mos this Thursday..She has been using the pee pad very well on the peeing part(the only time she's peed on the carpet was the day I brought her home from getting her spayed, but, the pooping she always has done either in the pantry or in the laundry room(where one of the pee pads are) but, not by the pee pad..So, we put a door up to the pantry, and started putting all 4 dogs in a pen at night..First thing in the morning now is she gets her treat, then goes pee, then poop..Yesterday, I caught her pooping in the kitchen, so, I put her nose down by it, swatted her little butt very softly, and changed my tone and told her BAD GIRL you poop on your pad..took her in to the pad and put her on it...WELL, GUESS WHERE SHE POOPED THIS MORNING??? On the pee pad!! |

| Same here, I'm new to this site and love it already, that fact that someone else is having the same issues is great. Kramer is 15 weeks old, we also started pad training, he did well at first and then he started peeing all over when ever i let him loose. Everyone started telling me to crate train him it's the only way, i have been doing it for 3 days, but he has been pooping at night in his cage. |

| I am having similar troubles, Schmoo is 51/2 months old and uses the pee pads to pee no troubles, only a few minor accidents (touch wood) for not recently. But...she loves to poop anywhere but her papers, if she does it near her papers, it is just a sample and then you find the real deal somewhere else in another pile...she will poop on the couch...under the couch...where ever. We reward her when she pees on the pads and look at her sternly and ask where she poops when she leaves surprises...to no avail...any suggestions would be wonderful...she really enjoys to poop in the naughty places when the man is home...lol...I tease him that he does not give her enough attention or rewards..but he does. |

| Meka does it too... Quote:
I will say that when she was younger... it did seem as though she just didnt want to pee/poop on the same pad. So I had started putting two pads together (so she had more room) and it did help a little.... Ive even read that some members have two pads in different area's so their pup as the option.... Meka overcame it though... She's able to do all of her business on one pad now, unless shes being a brat

| My baby is 5 months old and she was doing very well going on the pad, I did want her to try to go outside and after taking her outside over and over again she finally learned this is where to go. She hadn't had an accident in about a week, but all of a sudden she started going in the house!!!! I have been in the habit of taking her outside when she looks like she needs to go potty and I don't know if that was inhibiting her learning because she is not telling me when she wants to go outside. |

| It seems that when some dogs are tained to do one thing or another it's not new anymore so they revert back. You have to start them all over again and without running in the house. Sooner or later they figure out it isn't fun being stuck in one area and only being let outside once in awhile, so they get it right. |
