I tried the pennies in a medicine bottle, and she thought it was great fun! A new toy! Then I tried the squirt bottle, but I had to carry it around with me, or when I went to get it, she would run away. So that didn't work either. My picking her uop and growling at her and then yellint, NO is what worked for me. They are just little buggers.
On another subject, I open the door and tell her to "go potty" and she runs out and goes and comes right back in. Well, my husband would not close the door when he left her out. So, smarty pants would go to the steps and not go down. So, he would have to go outside and push her a little. Well, this got to be a pain, as when it was really cold out, the door open would cool ioff the room considerably. So, I had to put her out, close the door. and sit by the window and watch her sit at the top of the steps FOREVER! I finally broke her of the habit, but just goes to show how fast they can become very stubborn and have YOU doing what they want. One has to be on their toes with thesek Yorkies! |
