| Crate Training Hey everyone! I have an almost 4 month old Yorkie named Bella She's such a sweetheart. I'm having such a hard time trying to housebreak her though. We are trying to crate train...however my husband nor I really know how to-sad to say. Could anyone give me any pointers or any other ideas on how to train her? We have a fenced in yard and on pretty days I sometimes let her go outside with our other dog (they are best friends already) and play for a little while. She can be out there forever it seems and as soon as I let her back in...as soon as those little paws touch the floor she pees right in the kitchen. HELP!!! |

| I would try tying her to you when you are up so she can learn who is boss, also that way you could catch her in the act and redirect immediately. If you are not able to watch her, she should be contained. Also, you should be out with her, with some really good little treats (freeze dried liver works great). Whenever she goes potty outside give her a little taste. She will quickly learn and you can give her more independence. It will also show her who is boss. This has worked for me in the past. Hope it helps. |

| My girls are older, so my only input is that feeding on a schedule will help potty-training. There are several very informative threads on YT that have almost step-by-step crate training instruction which should be easily found by searching the forum.
