Senior Yorkie Talker | Potty Training Issue Background: Our oldest, (10) passed away in May. She and Zoe (9)were perfectly trained. Hardly ever had accidents. Then.... we lost Gizmo....and the story begins. The culprits: Number 1: 9 year old Zoe: Very Healthy, Always used pee pads or outside before this. Number 2: 7 month old Sadie. A little harder to train, pees sometimes when she gets excited, goes on pee pads 85% of the time. Number 3: 8 week old Bella. Very young puppy, should have stayed at breeder longer, but she was unable to keep her. She goes on pee pads 50% of the time. The other times she pees while playing, running etc. The problem: I think the older 2 are peeing after the youngest to show dominance or to "mark it as THEIRS". Luckily, I am able to be home with them and take them out as much as possible. I have tried crate training the youngest one but she pees all in the crate. AND sounds horrendous crying while being crated. I am asking for ANY advice that can make this situation better... because we are at our up to our eyeballs in pee pee

| Oh goodness! First off, I'm sorry for the loss of your babies. =( As to the pee issues- have you read over the sticky posts in the potty training area to see if any of those ideas can help you? For me, I would probably start to "retrain" all of the dogs. Act like they are all brand new and need to be trained from scratch. Tether them to you if need be, keep them all in a room, take them out (or to the pads) every 1/2 hour or so, reward for every success, say "NO!" anytime you catch them having accidents (not after the fact, it doesn't help.) I'm totally not an expert on this, though, so hopefully the other threads will help or others here will be able to help. GOOD LUCK!!!! Hopefully this gets figured out SOON for you!!!! =D
