I am a new yorkier owner he is about 5months now and I keep him in cage when I am gone, now the thing is when I take him outside to do this duty he sniffs around for the longest time then he poops. I always wonder is there somethign he is sniffing for?? I am having a nightmare trying to housebreak him I take him outside and he does it outside also he does inside. I am cage training him basically keep him in cage then take him right out so he can do his duty but I just don't understand why he takes awhile to sniff around then actually goes. Its hard when your up early waiting for him to go and have to run to work!I hope anyone has any better ideas to housebreak him my puppy is soo attached as well. He barks anytime I walk away or close the door on him its like he always wants to stay close by if not he barks and yaps. I hope as he gets older he stops being such a baby and stops barking whenever I leave the area.
