| I don't know how to help you, but I wanted to let you know about some dog's "pooping dynamics". Some dogs need to "walk it off". In other words, it's not like peeing where they sniff a spot and pee there. Pooing requires a greater degree of walking, searching, walking more, circling and then pooping. (It's their nature, they can't help it). Millie is a walker, but also more importantly, she does not want to do it anywhere near her domicile. I found poo in the house, only one time, when we first got her. It was in the guest bedroom, behind the bed. This was the furtherest location, from her "living area". We live on 2.5 acres. When we would take her outside (she is outside trained) she would walk/run almost an acre before she would go poo. She always had to do it far far far away from the house. She still does (but we have our yard fenced, so it's ok, she can have at it.) This made her really easy to train on pooing. She only had that one mistake and never again. Because she wanted to go poo outside. It's what instinctually made sense to her. How does that help? Not at all, except to have you understand that some dogs, may never be satisfactorily trained to poo in one area (especially in the house), because it goes against their nature. Just my thoughts. But others may come along and let you know how they successfully combatted this problem.

| Unfortunately, you have a ways to go my dear Potty training can be a long process...JMO.. I mean, my baby is 9 mo now and still has accidents on occassion. Ive trained Meka with pup pads since 9 wks. The important thing right now is that you help her... so after she drinks water, you should take her to her potty area every 10 min until she pees and of course PRAISE her... After she eats, wait 30-45 min and keep taking her to her area. When you see her stop playing and start sniffing around...thats another sign to take her to her potty. And its helpful to use the same phrases like GO POTTY or whatever, so that she becomes familiar with what your asking of her... When they are that young, they just dont seem to want to leave you to go potty... just like kids, they think they're missing out on something...lol.... Hope this helps And Welcome to YT Cant wait to see pics....

| Yes, I see I have a long way to go but I am so excited with my Chloe that I will fill myself up with all the patience of the world and train her. We do praise her every time she potty and poo on the papers and tell her how good girl she is; she knows when she done bad because i call her bad bad chloe and she walks away from me but when we call her good girl she goes and does wave her tail and start playin...lol Thank you very much for your advices; it sure helped me alot to understand my yorkie, pictures will be coming soon....I am soo happy she is my christmas present, husband took me to a breeder, there were 5 and he asked me to choose one of course i wasn't going to say no I wish i could have got the other 4 but heyy cannot push my luck |
