As for those that think we should find her another home: She can be a lot of fun (at times) and the kids love her to death. We are at the point of no return and would not part with her. For the most part, we have resigned ourselves to the fact that this dog (and the messes she produces) will be a part the house. Anyone else that is considering a Yorkie should be advised that they should (likely) expect a similar experience. |
Yorkies are very difficult to train but definetly not impossible..they do take longer but they do "get it" eventually...in the mean time maybe you should try a diaper for her to avoid messes in the house and crate...
Have you had her checked by the vet for possible medical issues like a UTI? My Soleil is 5 months old and although she isnt perfect..as far as housebreaking goes..otherwise yes she is perfect lol...she still has accidents once in a while..I would say 95% of the time she goes outside and 5% in the house..
If your dog is never housebroken which could happen I suppose...are you willing to put up with accidents for 15-20 years? I doubt your dog will never be housebroken but I guess that is a possibility..
Also you might want to look into an x-pen and give her little to no access to anywhere else in the house until she shows some improvement..
