My dad told me when we 1st got Teddy 2.5 years ago that a dog will NOT pee where he/she sleeps...Well I thought yeah right dad U never had my dogs...YORKIES!!!!!!!! Well he is 100% RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! LISTEN TO MY DAD!!!!!!! See they have to get older before they can learn to control their holding patterns!!! Really. Teddy, Tiffanie are 2.5 years old now and don't pees/poops in their crates ever!!!!! Sir. Galahad is 13 months old and he never pees/poops in his crate either....I suggest U crate her @ night (I do all 3 of mine, have since day 1) and crate her when U leave, sure she will yelp, cry, moan and go on, but she'll live. I don't mean put her in a dog carrier, I mean crate her. Dog carriers are VERY VERY Dangerous for YORKIES to be crated in!!!!!!! My Sisters Benji Yorkie, was in one while she ran to the store, got back and his nose was stuck in the metal door, it had swollen that fast, where he was fightin' it to get out. They had to cut the metal with plyers from his nose. My puppies (Tiffanie's 1st litter) learned to not to go potty in their crate, sure U'll get up or come home to messes but hey that's part of it, they will get the hang of it. And I have to say U must have patience with her...YELLING, SCREAMING, HOLLERING won't help it will only set her nerves on edge and she'll go more, FEAR isn't good for ANY dog to feel about their owner!!!!!!!!! Please understand it isn't her fault she's still learning and just a baby!!!!!! Guess what my Tiffanie now is 2.5 and she has accidents, she is carrying babies and I think they must lay on her bladder, then once she pees guess what again.....My 2 boys.... age 2.5 and 13 months (ALL 3 Potty Trained!!!!!!!!!) come right over top of her pee and do their MARKING!!!!!! Oh yeah so do I YELL @ her NO I just clean it up and tell them bad and take them out. Then old Lee here put them in diffrent rooms, put Tiffanie in the living room and Teddy, Sir. Galahd in the kitchen....GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!! NO peeing from ANY OF THEM...... Amazing what a little change can do. So now I take them out every 2 hours with Sir. Galahad. Take her out once an hour, sure it's hard but that's what we Yorkie lovers must do to help our babies learn, if she comes in and pees, crate her for a few minutes, now @ 13 months Sir. Galahad can hold his about 2 hours, I take the older ones out normally (When Tiffanie isn't with puppies) @ 8 am, (Sir. Galahd @ 10 am), all 3 @ noon, then all 3 @ 3 pm (They all nap uncrated from 1 to 3, and Sir. Galahad holds his then don't ask me why but he does) (Sir. Galahd 4:30 to 5 pm) All 3 @ 7 pm and then all 3 around 9 to 10 pm then it's night time around 11 pm and NONE of them pee or poop in their crates from 11 pm to 8 or even 9 am (If no one is up then they will wait until one of us are up then here they go whining to go out and yes I let them out before I get me even dressed). Well I wish U the best just take U're time and give her a chance...She'll grow into it and I will tell U that from experience with our last litter...BOYS are 100% easier to puppy pad train then GIRLS our girls went anywhere and everywhere, boys right on the pad!!!!!! Maybe it's just our girls but well see with this litter. And our puppies are started both puppy pad and outside trained before they leave our house, it's up to the new mommies and daddies to keep up the work!!!!!! That's sometimes the trouble not the puppy, the owners!!! Trust me, Look @ mine since Tiffanie is gonna have babies, our Yorkies always change!!!!!!!! Hugs, Lee |
