| I need major help with male yorkie ASAP!!! Okay here is the issue well I have a girl yorkie who is potty trained but my friend who has a 2 year old boy yorkie (Rocky) cannot figure out why he pees on EVERYTHING!!! I am not completely sure but I have heard that she should of gotten him fixed when he was a puppy but I am also wondering if it has something to do with Rocky just being stubborn and showing resistance. Seriously if you don't get out the way he will probally pee on you!!! She tried the kennel but he would pee and poop in it. Now she currently wraps a baby diaper around his waist which stays there almost all the time. I don't think it is healthy for him to have his wee wee wrapped up 24/7. She does not know what to do and I told her about this great website where alot of people have a lot of great information. Any suggestions....PLEASE!!!! |

| If he's not neutered, he's probably marking. Is this something new he's doing, or has he just never been potty trained? If he has never been trained, then it's best to start over with the basics...keeping him contained in a small area with an expen or gate with pee pads or in a crate. He should have just enough room to turn around in the crate to prevent him from going in it. Also, if this is something new he just started, it would be good to take him to the vet to make sure he doesn't have a UTI or bladder infection. Your friend will have to watch him closely for signs that he needs to go out and be consistent. Maybe take him out every hour or so until he understands and is able to let her know he has to go out. When not in the expen or crate, it's helpful to put a leash on him and keep him with you as you are doing things around the house, etc. That way, it's easier to notice when he is showing signs of having to go.

| He has been doing this since she bought him home 2 years ago. The crate didn't work very well because he would be in there for so long and he would eventually pee. I think he is marking his territory too but I don't understand how they stop doing it. Yelling doesn't work so maybe she should start back at step one because like I told her, she needs to potty train him asap before he really gets stuck in his ways. But thanks for the advice!!! |

| The reason the crate didn't work is because he was left for too long. Yorkies have really small bladders, and it's hard for them to hold it very long. If she's leaving him in a crate while at work, she's probably better off using an expen with pee pads so that he doesn't have to hold it.
