Sure, she goes potty every time we go outside, but she'll run back inside and then 5 minutes later piss right in front of your face. She's gotten better at holding it but she still does not let us know when she needs to go, and so we will sometimes miss it and then that doesn't help, because if it's my fault I feel like I can't get mad at her for it. We've tried treats when she goes outside, punishment, ignoring it and just working on praising her when she does it right, confinement, everything. It does no good at all to crate her because she pees in her crate. She'll pee in her crate, sleep in it, get up in the morning, potty outside, come inside, and potty right in front of you. She has no shame. The only thing she tries to hide is if she poops in the house.
I'm losing it. My fiance and I are fighting over her, he wants her gone and I don't want to get rid of her. But neither of us are okay with our house smelling like s**t. I am not going to let this 5 pound dog destroy my house or my relationships! I am at my rope's end. |
My advice is to rehome her, there are many people looking for a nice Yorkie pup. The breed is the wrong one for you. Anytime, I am interviewing someone for one of my dogs or puppies, I make it very clear housebreaking is a BIG issue in Yorkies and really most other toy breeds. It very well could take to a year of age or more for her to be housebroken. Most of the time they are never really that trustworthy in housebreaking or chewing things up for that matter.
If you are that wound up about it, you are likely contributing to the problem and making her a nervouse wreck.
If you are engaged, you and your fiance will have to be in agreement about the dog as it takes both of you to cope with her. If you will marry and have children the problem will become worse. Many couples find themselves in way over their head with a yorkie and starting family.
This is not an easy breed to own.
