| Need advice on potty training We recently got two yorkies, a boy and a girl (Charlie and Maisy) and Maisy is so stubborn! Let me give you some background on what we already do. They are both 5 months old. We feed them Nature Valley puppy food twice a day... at 6am and at about 8pm every day. We do not leave water in the crate when we are gone. In the morning we feed them and once they are done we take them outside and Charlie always poops and pees. Maisy on the other hand will take half an hour to do anything. Yet, if we don't take them out right away after they eat... she poops and pees right away in the crate. Then we leave the house for 4 hours, during those 4 hours they both poop in their crate but Maisy poops and pees (of course). PS: They are both in separate small crates. So Charlie does a great job on holding his pee but we are having no luck with Maisy... Also whenever we take them outside Maisy never concentrates on going potty and we keep her on a leash to keep her in the same spot where she always goes but it still takes her FOREVER. I think it would help if we had a backyard but we live in a town home so all we have is outside our front door. So please any ideas would be greatly appreciated! |

| My sister uses a large dog kennel for both of hers and she has a small rug she puts inside in just 1 area and places a puppy pad over it. Not sure why she adds the rug but it works well for her when she leaves home. |

| The problem is we don't want them to go in the crate. They aren't fixed yet either so we don't let them stay alone together. But when they poop in the crate they eat and play with it and it gets everywhere. Another reason we want it all to stop. |

| They should have water available all the time and in my opinion they should also have food at all times.
