| New to YT Hello All: I am not sure if I am posting in the right place but I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Tracy and I have a 17 week old Yorkie named Gussie. He is the love of my life. Any suggestions on housetraining would be greatly appreciated. I have never owned a yorkie before. |

| Hi thank you all for responding. I am training Gussie on the wee pads. If I confine him to a small area (exerpen) he will use them but the second he is free he will not go on the pads. Not sure what else to do, anyone?

| Hi & welcome Gussie & Tracy! It's great that Gussie is using the pads when in the pen. Make sure you make a super big deal of praising & treating him whenever he uses the pads. Good luck with your new baby!

| In my past experience I found to first train a puppy indoors was the easiest way to go, when they are 100% pad trained start the outdoor training. Walk pup the same time every morning. If you work, walk 2 times a day, once before you leave for work, again when you come home from work, a 3rd time just before bed time. Consistency and patience is a must. The first few times you leash walk, Gussie will more then likely just sniff everything, I always used the command words pee-pee and poo-poo on the entire walk. Even if he doesn't make, keep up the schedule, same time everyday. Dogs are creatures of habit, He will get get. My pups were 100% pad trained at 5 months, After they had all their shots the leash waking started. All my pups were 100% house broken at 8 months old. I was a working gal, my babies were alone for 9 hours, never a accident. Just remember Consistency. Good luck.
