| Male Yorkie's Aim When using pee-pads how good are the male Yorkies at hitting the pad??? We'll be picking up our 12-week old Yorkie in Puerto Rico next month and we're trying to get everything ready. |

| It's a great possibility that your pup will still be squating at that time. However, if he's not. Here's a trick that I use. In the middle of the Pee Pad, I place an empty Plastic Bottle, weighted down my sand. I usually wrap layers of paper towels around the bottle and secure the towels with a large rubber band. There are also plastic fire hydrants that could do the same trick.

| One of my boys is a leg lifter and the other is a croucher. I do not put anything in the center of the pads, I just move the pads away from walls and they go right on the pads w/o a problem. It's the female who is defiant.

| Presto mostly squats but once in a while he will lift his leg. I use a pee pee pad holder to make sure he's right on aim |

| Their little peepers cant always aim correctly. A soda bottle with sand in it covered with a pee pad and put in the center of a pee pad can help.

| I do the same, keep the pad away from the wall for my leg lifter. Max still lifts one foot off of the floor in a ballet like squat.
