| What are the chances of success? Hi I'm new here and I have enjoyed reading all the info everyone has posted. I was looking for info that would maybe help me with my future addition to my already established pet family. I have 4 parrots and a male maltese. All of which are very well behaved and house-trained. Yes, even the parrots. I am rescuing a 3 yo female yorkie who is NOT house-trained. I'm reading here that yorkies are known to be very difficult to train, in this area. I guess I'm asking, if anyone out there has adopted an older yorkie and was successful in house-training them? I'm looking forward to having her here with me and my babies (feather and fur) but I need to know, if I have a quicksand of a chance on making a lady out of her (modestly speaking). All suggestions will be gratefully accepted. |

| I think with lots of love and PATIENCE you can do it. It will be trying but well worth it. Are you home most of the time?

| Good luck. I bet you enjoy your family. I had a maltese, macaw and a cockatoo. Loved them all. RIP my kids.

| Thanks donnarod, I do enjoy my gang. There is never a dull moment. Macaw,Cockatoos and Amazons with a delightful cotton ball running around (with a soon to be trouble) makes for a lively abode. I'm sure you have a few good stories of your own. I'm sure they shared your love. Last edited by ldsalerno; 03-04-2009 at 12:38 PM. |

| You are very welcome. I hope it all works out for you. And welcome to YT. I forgot that part earlier. You will learn a ton of stuff here. And, it is great that you are rescuing a older girl. So many people only want puppies and it is a shame, they all need to be loved. |

| Welcome to YT! I think it's possible if you have a plan before you bring her into your home. Love, consistency & praise goes a long way
