 Crying over Lexie
I am at my wits end. My Lexie is refusing to be house trained. My husband and I work full time. So we are trying to train Lexie on puppy pads. Here is the sticking point.... She is 15 months old. We have tried ignoring mistakes and praising her for good behavior, scolding and praising, etc. She is very stubborn. She has good stretches, but reverts with a vengeance. I am so in love with her. Other than this she is so good and she is my best buddy. Last night my husband had all he could take. He through her in the bathroom and told me that she had to stay there 24/7. I told him that what he was suggesting amounted to animal abuse and that when you have a pet you are responsible to give that pet a good life or find someone who can. He suggested animal control. I lost it, began to cry and have not been able to stop. I couldn't go to work today because of this. We lost the most loving, kind and perfect Yorkie last year. I know that all Yorkies have their own personality. This one is a pistol (I like that in her). I believe that my husband wants an exact duplicate of our dear Gizzy. This disagreement aside, I do agree with my husband that this has to stop. Is there some Yorkies that are just untrainable? Any, and all suggestions are much appreciated.
