Well my dear... Pups are like children - and a good spanking never hurt anyone! If Meka does a BIG no,no... she does get a tap on the bottom. Do what works for you!
Potty Training is just a long process with Yorkies... and it requires patience and being consistant. I leave Meka in my washroom/kitchen during the day. She has a puppy pad near and a limited about of water. I had to limit it, because I use to let her graze freely and I'd come home to pee/poo everywhere... So she's feed in the AM and then again when I get home. After she eats in the evening, I make her sit in her bed in my room. I wait about 30 min. and then tell her to "potty on her pad" and she's actually getting the concept to run downstairs to her pad (of course w/ me). But, all in all, its just a slow process and it aint easy... Be sure to keep using key words CONSISTANTLY. The fact that he bites back and barks when you tell him NO is concerning... Sounds like he thinks hes the leader of the pack and your suppose to be. Youve gotta show your authority - just like with kids... Or they will run all over you and your home. Hope this helps.
