I CAN'T get rid of her and i've tried everything! Please HELP!

[tashalee_15]

My baby was 4 months old yesterday and i've had her since she was 8 weeks old. We have big dogs that live around this area so i can't train her outside... i've been on potty pads since we've had her and i found that she won't go on hard wood floor when she can go on something softer. so i put the peepads in our sunroom which is hard wood floor and she used then for a while then quit... and now she only potties in the room but not on the pads and my dad hates it... he loves her but this is a new house and he can't have her potting on the floor ... if i can't find something he said we might have to find someone to take her... and I JUST CAN'T DO THAT!!! i love her tooooo much... Please Help Me!!! I'm BEGGING YOU!!

Are you praising her when she goes on the pads or even giving her treats after she goes? This is really important. Can you take her outside with the leash on to a grassy spot? Are the big dogs on leashes or are they loose?

did you try a newspaper...bc its dirty it smells kinda like the street i guess and she might go on it..put a wee wee pad or wateva under the newspaper so it will absorb it if it goes through..also try with out the pad under...and dont forget to praise her when she goes on it...good luck i hope things work out for you

first of all, welcome to YT!

Yorkies are one of the most difficult dog breeds to house train. Tucker is over a year and still not fully house broken. Here's what I suggest, get an x-pen. set it up in one room, and put her pee pads in it. When she's out of the x-pen, dont' let her out of your sight. if she starts to go somewhere other than the pad, say "No" firmly and put her down on the pad until she goes. then PRAISE LIKE CRAZY!!

Good luck! I hope you stick around, this site is really helpful!

I know some folks who use a small rug (that can be washed), or a towel as the pee pad and that works for them. If she was using the pee pads, perhaps try an inexpensive rug???

Yeah i praise her every time and i've tried about 5 different treats and i can't find one she really really likes... do you know any really good treats that most yorkies like?

Not to me a downer, but my little Britney took over a year before she was completely housebreaken. Your puppy is only 4 months old and could have a long way to go.

no i don't think i have but i will try... thanks

She is only 4 months old. It's not fair to expect her to be potty trained so soon. Give her a little time ... things will work out. I would not expect any dog to be potty trained until at least 1 year old. Just keep working with her and praising her when she goes in the right place. Good luck.

there is this one sunflower rug that if it's down she always potties on it... and i've washed it about 2 times because of her peeing on it.. .maybe i should use that... Thank you

well 1st off
yorkies pretty much don't have the capacity to be potty trained until
AT LEAST 5 months
as any yorkie book will tell you

When Tila was 5 months
and we knew she was able to on the paper
and she often would
but also too often not
we were finally fed up, got really mad
put her in the crate outside
(she isn't crate trained, and we barely use it)

they say discipling that harshly is bad
but she's been a LOT better ever since
but not perfect
(she's now almost 8 months, wow time flies)

My girls are now 7 and 13 months...they are 99% trained, but I put pads in every room until a month ago. These girls are the best at training I have ever had in 35 yrs...but my house was covered in pads for a long time...now they are so used to pads and they look for them..even scratch at the bedroom door if it is shut to go in the pee room!

Put out more pads and be patient..it takes about 6 to 12 months...why not put parlor pants on her when you can not watch her?

Cali trained real fast using the Jump Start pads at Petsmart. They are guaranteed to work. They are a little more expensive but I could not believe how fast she trained. All of my other puppies took until they were almost 8 months to be trained outside. Cali was the first one I pad trained and I don't know if I got lucky but I swera by the Jump Start Pads. Good luck
