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. |
You are expecting too much too soon. Yes, many people will tell you their yorkies were housebroken by five months but so many take much longer. My first yorkie was housebroken by four months old. It could not have been easier. With the exact same training methods it took Gus over a year.
Resign yourselves to the fact that what she is doing is not unusual for a five month old yorkie puppy. She is going to be with you for many years, spend the next six months working hard to train her and she will be housebroken. She (and having a house that doesn't reek) is worth it.
Good luck. You can do it.
