My 2 Yorkies are both litter trained (kitty litter) and trained to go outside. I have a large xpen with a large litter box in the back of it. Their food and water and a large, fluffy towel go in there also. They were litter box trained at 7 months in different crates. I already had the xpen but just used it occassionally because they made a big mess often. I kept trying though because there are times when we're gone for 6 hours or so and I wanted them to be comfortable. They moved to the xpen for good when they were a year. They use it rarely at night which surprises me because their food and water are in the pen all the time. They still have an accident in the house once in awhile but things are much better at 17 months than they were at 3 months! Good luck and keep trying. It just takes time. I'm as crazy about my babies now as I was when I brought them home. |
