Hi, My name is Donna and my husband and I live with our little Yorkie, Abbey, in Debary which is a small town just north of Sanford, FL. This is my first post although I've been checking in regularly since we finally decided to get a pup. Abbey is 7 months old and we still have training issues. She won't come when called and although she potties outside whenever we take her, she pees and poops regularly inside if we are the least bit lax in getting her out often enough. The funny thing is, we can leave her in the kitchen and go for 4-5 hours and she won't go, but if we're home, she seems to think nothing of going potty in there! I just can't figure it out. Yesterday she pooped on the rug in front of the sink WHILE I WAS DOING DISHES!!!! It's like she hasn't made the connection yet. She's smart as a whip but just seems to ignore me when I call her unless she thinks we're going to play, and yet learned sit and down in minutes! Truth me told, she only does it when she's getting a treat, but I know she knows what it means! Anyway, sorry for the long post but I'm a yakker! Thanks for listening!
