| Retaliatory potty issues Hey guys and gals!! I'm at a loss. Is it normal for Yorkies to retaliate by peeing in th house, on furniture etc?!! CoCo has been acting out lately, disobeying. Today, he was in his crate for longer than normal. I'm usually home from church within 4-5 hrs but today 6-1/2. He doesn't line the food I gave him yesterday and didn't eat, and I put it up and gave it to him again today. After I gave it to him, he promptly peed on the blanket I had on the couch. At a loss......���� Oh.....he's 8! Alive ha shed hm to his crag except to eat and outside petty breaks and its King me for him to be in there all the time. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hello - welcome to YT. I don't understand your last sentence at all...what are you saying...? As for retaliation, no, dogs do not feel a need for "revenge" - that's not really what they're capable of doing. If he has always peed just fine, and now suddenly is going elsewhere - then you really need to get to the vet ASAP and get bloodwork and a urinalysis.

| I'm sorry. Last sentence is thanks to Iphone auto correct. It is unimportant just my solution for punishment. Thanks for your feedback. Last edited by GranMaD; 02-09-2016 at 12:07 PM. |

| Is he neutered? Even if he is neutered, could be that he is still marking. I believe Yorkies in particular respond much better to positive reinforcement training rather than punishment. I correct my boys, but I focus on encouraging them and enabling them to do the right thing -- especially when it comes to potty habits. Make sure to give him ample opportunity to go outdoors and praise and reward. My boys are 6 and 7 and we still praise and make a big deal out of correct potty habits. They get 2 pieces of kibble for each good potty, so they are happy to go where they are supposed to and they milk the system (we also use piddle pads in addition to outdoors).
