| hard work destroyed. I just got a new baby boy last weekend, caspian, and he was really good and he learned really fast were the puppy pad was, and he would always go there. I had to leave him with a friend for a day, I couldn't help it and I didn't want him to be alone, and she let him do whatever he wanted. Now everything I did doesn't matter. He won't go on his pad and pees everywere but the pad. He had one accsident before I left and now I can't count how many times I've cought him missing the pad. Its sooo frustrating. And on top of that my friend keeps trying to say she did such a good job at taking care of him, when I know she didn't watch him, she just let him do whatever he wanted while she partied. I'm pretty ticked off. I would suggest, never ever ever leave your baby with someone other then yourself, espesialy someone who doesn't know how to care for puppies. I'm new here, I just needed somewhere that everyone could understand how frustrated I am becaiuse everyone else says I'm overreacting. |

| I would give it time. I am sure that your friend did not mean to throw everything off. If you read the YT Potty Log you will see that even the most consistent owners furbabies have accidents from time to time. Yorkies are very smart dogs. So with that said, I am sure that your baby will catch on again. Keeping a schedule is also key in potty training. My girl is 9 months and is trained to go outside but still has an accident if I get off schedule. Just have patience . It will pay off in the long run |

Thor's Human Donating Member | I know how you feel - I've had to leave Thor in other people's care during potty training and it is really nerve wracking. This is not exactly the same, but a couple years ago I had this incredibly gorgeous orchid. It was the only plant I'd ever managed to keep alive, and it grew and blossomed year after year. I gave it to a friend to plant-sit over Christmas vacation, and when I came back, it was basically kindling. And to top it off, my friend was SO proud of herself for taking care of it that I could never bring myself to tell her that it died. Actually there was this other time when this unbelievably annoying girl decided she was going to be my best friend and absolutely insisted on watching my purse while we were dancing at a club. I later discovered that by "watching" she meant "leaving unattended at a table", and of course, my wallet was stolen and I had just gone to the ATM that day, had all my credit cards in there, the whole nine yards. And it was my birthday. The kicker was that she was so drunk that she forgot the whole thing and never even apologized to me. I said to mutual friends that I forgave her, but honestly, I still haven't. Okay, this story has nothing to do with you or your puppy, but it was six years ago and I am STILL bitter. I will carry that grudge to my grave. Moving back to you, your puppy learned to use the pad once, and that knowledge is stored in his brain somewhere. It may feel like it now, but it really isn't the same as starting from scratch. And it can be really, really hard to train yorkies, so it's possible that the timing was just a fluke and he was destined to go off the pad. Be patient and persistent and in time you WILL have a perfectly house trained dog.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | It's not likely soley your friend's fault...yorkie puppies simply aren't that easy to train in one weekend. They all tend to lapse. Be consistent...he'll get it eventually and confine him to the area with the pads.

| Thanks alot guys, this is all new to me and I knew coming into this it would be alot of work. Whats frustrating is that I know how much work it is, but no one seems to get it, and just think my baby is a toy. I guess it all just added up because I came home and I did not like what I saw. He was filthy covered in dirt(He's not suppose to be going outside till he's had all his shots) His ear was hurt because she let him play with the bigger dogs without supervission and had a party at my house with no one who actualy lived here home. He's already getting back on schedule, I just needed to be reminded that its not all her fault. He'll be fine, hes really smart. |

I am so sorry your friend let you down. I would have been very upset, too, to find my baby filthy, covered in dirt, and with a hurt ear. I am glad the bigger dogs didn't hurt him worse. I would say she isn't someone to ever depend on to puppysit again. Shame on her for having a party at your house, too! I'll bet he was so glad to have his Mommy back home. Sheila | |

And I don't think people know how much work it is, either. Sometimes I'll have to leave somewhere early or not be able to come out because I have Jackson and people just don't understand.
