| First let me say welcome to YT!!! Now about the potty training. I bought my little girl in nov. I live in PA so it was too cold to take her out. So I bought pee pads. They worked fine only she would only go #1 on them. So I got a litter box and still only #1. So I delt with that only small poops. As the weather got nicer, I started taking her outside. The first week I took her out every 2hrs for 20 min. The second week every 3hrs for 20 min and so on . It did not take her long to figure out that potty is outside. She now tells me when she has to go out. She barks and barks, I say outside and she barks somemore. You have to be consistant in training, believe me it will work. I take her out before bed and then she sleeps in her crate. No accidents as of yet. A little longer when I know I can trust her at night and she will be sleeping in bed with me. Good Luck to you and I hope this helped. remember consistancy It really works. meeshue |

| welcome to YT. I am a newby myself. And this potty training thing is verrryy difficult. It wasn't any more encouraging when I took mine to the vet and he told me yorkies are one of the top 3 hardest breeds to potty train. I have mine on pee pee pads. Gated in the kitchen. So far he is doing well. I praise him when he goes on them and I am around to see it. And scold him by sternly saying no when he doesnt do this. I would say he is at like 70% on the pad all the time. Be careful though, once the pad is to "used" in his eyes he won't go on it. He has even gone as far as turning the pad over lol. Good luck and stick to it!

| my puppy I had it all planned out how I was going to train...and it did not work out that wayt. My puppy has the best bladder I've ever seen. He can hold it forever. 10hrs if he is in a stubborn mood. When I got him, i wanted ONLY to put a pad by the door and teach him to go outside and to pee on command for when I travel. He would not go outside. I would walk him around for an hour and sometimes get him to go that way but I can't spend an hour everytime I go out...even now, unless it is in the A.M upon waking...it will take him an hour. I'm not kidding! If we go somewhere and he is afraid of something in the yard...forget it. I also stayed 1hr and 1/2 two nights in a row trying to get him to go on the pad in front of the door...nope...too many distractions. I noticed that he always wanted to go in the bathroom at night while I was washing my face. I started to think...hmmm...bathrooms are the same everywhere pretty much. Now I keep his pad in the bathroom. He is 99% trained to "go" on command and can be in the whole house and if he has to "go" will go right to the bathroom. I do not allow pee pads throughout the house and now I am training him to "ask" if he has to "go". At night he is in the TV room penned in with us and we are working on teaching him "if there is no pee pad and no outside, you have to ask". He is 5mos and doing very well I feel for a terrier puppy. suzie |
