| Pee Pad Training I have had my Harlie for about two weeks and I am not having much luck with the pad training. If I catch her going anywhere other that the pad, I say no and put her on the pad. This seems to disrupt her going though, she completely stops, both peeing and pooping. I make her stay on the pad for a few minutes, but she doesn't continue to go. Any advice? |

| I adopted my female yorkie at eleven weeks. She had a few accidents for the first few days. I established a routine she seemed to respond to quickly and happily. Morning: take the puppy to the pee pad. Gently verbally encourage by saying "go pee, (enter name)" and rub the genitals. If they don't go, do be upset, just feed them and repeat this process prior and/or post feeding depending on what pattern emerges. Bedtime: encourage a drink of water before bed. Then take your dog to the pee pad again. Hope this helps. My Stella is very good about using her pads now at 14 weeks. |

YT 1000 Club Member | It takes patience, persistence and a little luck. I do try to move them onto the pee pad when I see them going on the floor. Sometimes I grab the nearest pee pad and put it under them though. Mine are still hit and miss here and there at 16 weeks. I have one puppy that goes pee on the pads really well, but poops everywhere. The other puppy poops on the pad most of the time but pee's everywhere. It makes it very difficult at times, but the days I am not as busy with other things are the days we have the least amounts of accidents. If I take mine outside regularly to potty they go in the house a lot less. They are working on it though. They also sell a spray you can spray on the pads that is supposed to "attract" them to pee/poop on the pad, but I have not tried that yet.

| The one that I am getting lately is that Bella will have her forelegs on the pad but ends up peeing just off of it. I give her partial credit, but still working on getting her all the way on the pad.

| Oliver has a wire crate for at night and when we leave. I put the pee pads inside a plastic crate. He has to actually walk in there to go. It helps him know that it's where he's supposed to go. Also, being a boy, it's easier if he lifts his leg. He just hits the inside of the crate. The door can be propped open or taken off. Works great, especially while training.

I just got a 4 month old teacup yorkie 2 weeks ago and we are also working on potty training. I hate to say it, but what's working best is to take him out every 1-2 hours and after EVERY nap. Luckily, he only poops outside (yes!) but he almost "leaks" a little pee when he's excited or really has to go. I've been making a fuss over him for going outside and giving him a stern "NO!" when he pees inside. Having said that, it's hard to discipline him because he makes a super-sad face!! He's not really into the pad... I've only seen him use it twice. | |

| Our shih tzu is potty pad trained, and I am working on trying to get Georgie potty pad trained. I've had her about 2 1/2 weeks, and today is the first day she's actually gone on the potty pad. She pooped on it once today, and that's been it. I have tried the spray that is suppose to attract them to go to the bathroom where you spray it. She will go over and sniff the spots where I spray it but has nothing else to do with it. I read somewhere that when they have an accident, you should rub their urine on the potty pad where you want them to go, and it should attract them to the potty pad, too. No luck there. |

| I am also working on Pee pad training our new puppy piper. We have have had her for 2 weeks and I am not having much luck. Our first yorkie Lucy would walk in a circle when she needed to go. Piper gives you no sign. It hard to tell if she is peeing or just sitting because she squats so low. I just need to be patient. |
