| Urgent Help Needed Help I just got back from 14 hours of driving to go and pick up this dog. The woman said he was nearly four months old. When I got there he is 5 full months, very pretty dog, but NO TRAINING he pees and poos where he wants she said, so now I have an emergency on my hands. A five month old Yorkie DOG as I dont see him as a baby like I did when I brought my other puppy home, he is SORT of getting along with my dog, but ate everything in both bowls and left my dog with no food. then he proceeds to RAISE his leg and pee on my bedroom wall WTF . I have crated him for the night, is this cruel, he has never been crated before? I dont normally crate animals but good lord. If our drive was not 7 hours each way I wont have done this. I am exhausted here. It is 3:12 AM and we just got backa little bit ago. HELP me please. I wouldnt have taken him but we had alredy driven so far I am mad she told me he was younger when he was not. NOw I have a 5 month old dog on my hands with absolutely ZERO training, does not know sit, come or no house training whatsoever. What crises have I gotten into?

| Oi.....If the crate is big enough for him, and he is not freaking out he should be ok. Otherwise do you have a small room that you can fence off? Like laundry room, or bathroom? Get some sleep and then figure out your plan attack on housebreaking. |

What sort of environment did he come from? Did you buy him from a breeder? Did you buy him from a owner? Why did the owner get rid of him? I would keep him crated and work very hard with him on his house training skills! also I wanted to add that eating 2 bowls of dog food will more then likely make him sick, he is to small to be eating that much food! You need to monitor his food intake! Last edited by yougetthesmiles; 10-20-2007 at 05:16 PM. | |

| Don't feel bad about Crating him. He is new to your home and he will be getting into trouble through the night if you were sleeping. Start fresh in the morning and start implementing YOUR rules that you expect him to live by. I am sure it will not be easy but if you stick w/it you should do fine! Good luck

| Oh so you're like me... haha no sales resistance and felt obligated to get the dog. It is not wrong to crate train a dog. I do that with mines and they are now housebroken. Just be patient my dear. I can't tolerate male behaviors also, like the whole marking his territory, but you just need to housebreak him. He is still a puppy since he's only 5 months old. So that means there's still hope. Goodluck! If you need any help or suggestions, you can always ask...

He inhaled the food didnt even chew it. He comes from a breeder and she sold him becaues his second testicle went up and wont come down so she cant use him for breeding. he is a beautiful dog, really pretty. But she never trained him. She said she only put newspaper and he went on it if he wanted to. WTF. He has NO training at all. I feel like I just got a RESCUE from the pound | |

| i know it is totally frustrating but thankfully he is still young enough to be trained somewhat easily. you have made a commitment to this pup...so now you will just have to do all you can to train him. and understand that there will be a lot of frustrating moments in the process. just pray for a little extra patience and be VERY consistent. he will train. he will be a great dog...if you work hard at it. you also need to make sure that you are making it impossible for him to eat all the other food. he does not need to be able to do this. you have to take control.

| Awww, sounds like you both have had a very rough day. I certainly wouldn't expect great behavior after the day you've both had and him in a new envirnment. Put him in his crate and get some sleep, tomorrow will be a new day and you can start it off with getting aquainted and he can start learning the new rules. I hope you'll share some pics later!

I feel he guzzles the food because at the breeder he was fed with all her other dogs so they all ate and maybe he didnht get enough so when he did he ate like mad. It was WERID as hell, as my current puppy nibbles and takes like 30 minutes to eat two ozs of food I will try my best for patience but will you all please help me on those dark dismal frustrating days when I feel all hell is braking loose? I have never had a dog this old before. Do you really think he can still learn obedience and house breaking? How many weeks can I crate him at this age? He is dead silent. Will crating him at this age cause him to become nervous and paranoid? My first pup took him both paws and tried many times to dominate him, but he keeps firing bites at him. What does this mean also? Is he the boss or is my first pup the īboss? | |

Give him a week and he will be the best dog you could of asked for! Yorkies can be very stubborn, but they also are very smart! They want to please you, but right now he does not even know your his new mommy, he is scared and confused. | |

| I think you need to take some deep breaths. He is still very much a puppy and with some training and guidance he will make a wonderful companion. Did you think you were getting a fully trained dog at 5 months? Not to be rude, but Mckenzie is nearly 8 months and nowhere near trained and we work on it daily. Maybe give the new puppy small amounts of food at a time, since he is eating so quickly. Take him out every 30 minutes to potty. Be gentle with him, he's new to your home and I'm sure even if he did have some training, your house is a whole new game as far as potty training goes. I know that mine are mostly trained and will still go potty inside at someone else's home simply because it's different. |

What is your other breed of dog you have? Since you have both males, they are going to test each other to see who is the leader of the pack, but you have to make sure they BOTH know that YOU are the leader, not them! | |
