| Scooter is 2 and not potty trained Hey Yorkie lovers, We have a precious Yorkie that is 2 years old. He will be 3 in July. He is STILL not potty trained. We have tried about every thing we can think of. We did not crate train him. Wish we would have. We have his carrier in the kitchen with the door off so he can go in and out. He seems to like to sleep in there. That is all he knows in the daytime when we are at work. He has the run of the house. Sometimes he holds it and sometimes he doesn't. As soon as one of us get home, he is taken for a walk. We have to watch him as if he is a puppy because he will go to our Florida room and do both jobs. How do we get him to understand ? He is the "Love of our life". We absolutely adore him. |

| It can be really difficult to change bad habits when they have been doing them for that long. You have your work cut out for you. I would go back to training him like he was a puppy. As much as all of you will hate it, he must be contained when you are not able to watch him every second. When free you must be watching to make sure you get him outside when he needs to go and reward him (praise him like crazy, use his favorite treat) or catch him in the act and tell him no. Do not let him sneek away from you. How long is he home alone? You might need to pee pad train him if you are gone long hours. Good luck.
