Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Hi! I am a new 1st time Yorkie owner! I am totally in love with my new pup. I have named him Baxter and he is 9 weeks old! Just wondering if yall could recommend threads that might be helpful to me during my training. We are working on his potty training & it is very strange, he uses the potty pads very well when he pee's but he doesnt always use it when he poops. I am taking him out, SOOO much but for some reason he doesnt always poop outside. He will come back in and poop right next to the potty pad. LOL Maybe this is too early to be concerned. I find it strange that he uses it sometimes and others he won't. Has anyone used Petsmart for their training? I was thinking about starting that in 2 weeks. Thoughts? Thanks so much and I am so excited to find Yorkie Talk! |

| Hi and Welcome to YT!!!! You may want to check out the training section. Your puppy is very young, it will take time to potty train. Yorkies can be very stubborn about this, just be patient

I was told he was born on 4/8, but to me he looks older. I saw his parents, he is definitely pure bred. I need to ask the Vet. I told her his age but she didnt say anything about it. He was 3.2 lbs 3 days ago. I got him and took him straight to the vet. I got him from someone who just wanted her dog to have one litter so someone in her family could have one. I only paid 300.00 for him. I wanted a yorkie but 1000.00 was just too much. I looked at a few priced that high and honestly, he and I bounded. So, I dont know. I guess I said all that just to say, I think he is older. | |

| Cutie! He reminds me a bit of Jackson at that age. I got him at 9 weeks too. Jackson's ears went up at 4 1/2 months.

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Your little boy Baxter is adorable. And I love the name...lol My Baxter didn't totally potty train until he was 9 mos. old. Your baby is very young, so it will take time. I've never used Petsmart for training, grooming, etc. Honestly, I've heard too many disappointing things about them.

| Hi there and welcome to YT! Baxter is so cute ! Please wait until Baxter has had all his vaccines before taking him to get groomed professionaly, or starting him up in a training class . It is so important to make sure your baby is protected from these deadly virus's that can take the life of young puppies . treatment is extremely expensive if a pup catches parvo, and then there is no garentee that the pup will make it .

| Welcome!! Hope you enjoy Yorkie Talk! I know everyone here has helped me out so much with things! About the puppy classes--at 11 weeks I don't think you should take him. Usually they require all of their shots to be complete, including rabies, for their safety as well as the safety of the other dogs. As far as the classes there, it just depends on the trainer they have. Our PetCo recently got a new trainer who I just adore and will talk to during Puppy Play Group and she's great, but the one they had before I didn't like and she didn't seems to like small dogs so I wouldn't have gone to her classes.
