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. |
I have not read all the posts that came after this one -- I am responding to your "vent" and initial post . If the amount of stress that the Yorkie brings into your home outweighs the love and joy -- then you should rehome her. She will adapt and be happy and you will "get over it" and be happy. You are entirely right, a 5 lb. dog should not destroy your house and relationships.
Sometimes life just hurts and we have to make hard decisions- my heart aches for you. I wish you the very best, both with your future marriage and with whatever decisions you might have to make. Sending hugs, sweetie, I hope things get better for you
