| Diapers on Pups Hello! I have two 2 yr old yorkies. My male, Tbone, is a potty pad fool! He knows where it is and uses it quite often. The way I got him to use it was by putting it in my bathroom and inviting him to go potty with mommy! He loves to go potty with me every time I go into the bathroom. BUT, my little stubborn female, Tina, seems untrainable! She seems to be unsure about when she needs to go. I can't ever tell when she is looking for a place because she doesn't really sniff before squatting. She was on prednezone for a few months earlier this summer after a case of menengitis, and hasn't been able to control her bowels as well. So, I would like to consider using diapers with her, but how is this going to help me teach her? I can't take the constant carpet piddling anymore, so I need some kind of protection, but once I do that, I am afraid she will think she can go whenever and wherever she pleases. How will using diapers help me to train her to go in specific places? And, she won't go on the same potty pad as Tbone. She tries to bury it with her head. Anyone with a pair of yorkies with the same problem? I am at a loss!!! |

| My male and female don't like to go on the same piddle pad, either. I have seperate ones for them. My female would rather have her pee pad in a totally different place than the male.

| My three must wear "pants" all day while we are at work or they will pee all over. If we have the "pants" on, they hold it because they are dry when we get home and go outside. Mine never learned to use the pee pads.

| I use baby diapers on Cody. He gets them put on him when he uses the carpet, (not accidents, looking at me and going on the carpet after he's been outside) He gets a diaper put on, he won't go in the diaper, he'll whine when he has to go out.
