Welcome to YT!
Unfortunately, it seems that yorkies are just a bit stubborn and sometimes difficult to potty train. The good news is that your puppy is growing up, and he will learn eventually, and you're getting over the hump to when things get better. Both my dogs took until they were 9-10 months old to be fairly reliable with going potty outside or on their pads. I keep pads in the house available to them at all times, and they DO use them. I think they are just too small to have to hold it all day long.
My best advice is to be consistent, set him up for success by taking him out at the right times, and often (after he eats, when he wakes up from naps, before bed, etc.), and when he goes in the right spot, PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE and TREAT! He will want to please you, so if you throw him a party when he does what he's supposed to, the next time it will be easier!
Good luck! |
