| I felt like you were telling my story... Use the pad at home but pees under my moms coffe table on the rug. Only difference in my story is he also pees on my rug and uses the wee wee pad at moms. Yes He uses the pad majority of the time no matter where we go so he knows what he is doing. But then for whatever reason he uses the rug when he wants also. I dont know how to stop it and it is driving me mad! I yell no when he goes on the rug and he doestn stop he just stares me in my face like "to late haha" And I reward when he goes on the pad. So he pees on the pad I reward. Then he poops on the rug. So I am investing in a little green machine to clean my carpets until someone can tell me how to fix this problem. |

I have the same problem and hopefully i will find a way to stop it as well. I did the steam cleaning, enzyme cleaners, etc and she still goes on the carpet in the same exact spots everytime. maybe there just isnt a solution. no more yorkies for me. | |

| We just got our Yorkie and the breeder said he used the pad at her house, so we bought some and he won't use them, but he does go outside so that is good. |

| Pee pad success Zoey was peeing on the pad, but pooping on the rug. We put up baby gates to limit her access to the house. She can only be in a 20X20 space.It worked the same day! She started using the pad regularly. She is 12 weeks and doing great. The only problem is that we give a small food reward when she goes on the pad. Now, she goes to the pad to squeeze out a dime sized spot and then looks at you like "where's the cookie?" We had to reduce the size of the reward to just a taste because she was consuming less puppy food.We were worried the cookies were replacing the nutrition she would get from puppy food. They are so smart! They find a way to WIN every time! |

| Guppy uses the pee pads both at home and at work. I do use lots of rewards and he's done very well...although we do sometimes have an accident. If my office door is closed when he's inside, he'll use the pad to poop. But if the door is open he'll go right in front of the store's door. Guess he's trying to tell me he'd rather go outside? |

| My little Oscar, who is now 4 months is doing great, he sleeps on my bed with me all night and so far so good, no accidents! It is lovely cuddling up to him in the night. I live alone and when my previous dog died at 14 years old in February of this year, I couldn't sleep. I swore I wouldn't get another dog as I had never felt hurt like that before.....any way I did and I have never looked back....I sleep like a baby having my little baby with me through the night. Having never had a yorkie before I didn't know what to expect, they are different to the big dogs I have had in the past but they are so adorable. Oscar came to live with me 2 months ago and he is the light of my life....anyway, I digress, so far Oscar hasn't had any accidents for about 2 weeks now, he even stands at the door when he wants to "go" which is really encouraging! Oscar has the run of the first floor of the house (apart from when I am out) so it is up to me to keep a close eye on him, so far so good. Oh, and I know he shouldn't sleep on the bed but I have always let my dogs sleep on the bed and I can't change this habit! |

| I've seen where one member bought a child's play tent and put the pee pads inside. Maybe you could do something like that and take the tent with you to your mom's house? Just a thought, hope it helps! |

| Wee Wee Pads Hi Y'all, We are brand new to this forum stuff but seasoned veterans with Yorkies (of 7 months duration). Our baby "Roufianna" took to a dog litter box with a dip on one side to facilitate entry and exit when se was tiny. Instead of liter we used pads and never found it necessary to add scent to them. Maybe the litter box makes a more memorable target or possibly extends a feeling of security. I think pads are much easier to deal with and neater then litter. N e way she began using them right away with accidents of course but the accidents thinned out tremendously within 4 months. We take her everywhere with us and her second home is our boat that we all stay on 3 nights a week in summer. In any event she loves being outdoors and now will not use the wee wee unless she really has to. From what I hear we have been very lucky Of course we will see what happens in winter when its cold and wet out?? She is now 9 1/2 months and we are thinking that she will come into season soon. What can you do to protect furniture (our bed) etc. We will not have her spayed until we decide if we are going to breed her once. Thanks for the input and the ears. |

| Wow. Jasper is pad trained. When I go to my daughter"s home I put a pad in her hallway, show him where it is, put his food in her kitchen and he goes right to the pad. |

| I think it's because she's not in her home. I use a spray on my area rugs so they won't want to go there. I also use the mothers miracle to kill the scent. Maybe you can use gates to keep her where you want to.

| It can be QUITE EMBARASING! Tobey is 100% potty trained to pee pads at home- he's 10 months old and never has an accident, (like 3 misplaced poops maybe in the last 7 months) But recently my aunt and uncle watched him for the weekend at their house because we had to go out of town and he didn't use his potty pad there AT ALL! not even ONCE! I was so embarased when I picked him up! I thought he would do good because when we've taken him to my parents (but we were there with him) he used the pee pad pretty well (like 3 out of 5 times I'd say). My dad suggested that the next time we take Tobey to an unfamiliar place, that we take a long a pad that he has peed on before and use that one to establish the "place to go" at the new place- because maybe the smell will clue him in?? Do you think this would work better?

| Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Miami Posts: 754 Default For those of you who's yorkies are pee pad trained... Esme does great on the pee pads at home. I take her to my moms house every Saturday. My mom has two Pomeranians who are also pee pad trained. I set Esme's pad next to theirs and I walk her over there and have her do her business on the pad. Now, the problem is that she still insists on peeing on my moms area rug in under the dining room table. I don't know why she does this??? We have some area rugs at home, so I don't think it's because she hasn't experienced a rug before. Each time she does her thing there we clean it with Nature's Miracle, so I don't think it's the smell that makes her keep going there. My mom thinks Esme is the cutest, so she doesn't get upset. But, I am wondering, will she ever be potty trained in my mom's house too?? When dogs are completely pee pad trained, does that mean they will ONLY go on the pads wherever they are? Or will she only go on the pads, at home? I am really curious about this. Mari I think he does it because he smells the other dogs at your mother's house, he looks at it like competition he wants to be the top dog..lol so he pees there to show the other dogs |
