| Need help with training Hello To All......I'm knew and I'm going to need a lot of help. I have a 5 month year old yorkie named KOBE. He is so cute, and he knows it. Besides KOBE being so cute, he is so smart. The problem is he is afraid of his own #2. Kobe will walk over towards his wee wee pad, put his body in position, #2 is coming out and then he runs. He must receive one more shot. Kobe is only 2.5 pounds right now. Dont know what to do. I NEED HELP |

| Welcome to YorkieTalk. My younger boy is a "runner" from his own poop when he is outside. I think it may be an instinct, wanting to get away from the thing that would attract a predator to his trail. If your boy isn't shy, try standing near the pad when he is doing his business and when you sense he wants to run, hold him on the pad and with a reassuring voice tell him to stay. When he finishes, let him go and praise him profusely and reward him with a treat. Use keywords and phrases to tell him to stay and finish. Make sure the area around his anus is kept trimmed so that the poop has a clear, easy path to the pad. It may take time and a lot of repetition, but he will eventually get it.
