I have inherited my 23 yr old son and his fiancees Yorkie who is now 10 months old. She has lived in their chaotic house (both full time students), had very little training. They love her but are selfish and should never have gotten a dog, let alone such an expensive one. (Stupid kids, they got her from a pet store and paid a ridiculous amount that they dont have) The dog spent her first 7 weeks at my house as my son was home for Xmas break so needless to say we fell in love with her. Now they have another apartment and cant have her there, so we have her. She is precious and I want to keep her, but she is peeing all over my house. She can only go about 6 hours a night before she goes and we take her out probably every 2/3 hrs during the day (between my dh and dd one of us is usually home, I work full time). We have a crate but she has never used it and barks uncontrollably if we put her in it. I need my sleep to work, so cannot stand listening to her howl all night...and even if I could, my dh, dd, and ds would not put up with it. Is is too late to help this sweet little girl (she is neutered)? I just knew this would happen living with them and now noone else is going to want her if she is not trained. Please help me with any advice you can give!
