We keep Remi in a crate next to the bed at night, covered with a towel. From the first day he was brought home he never cried. I think he feels safe in his little house with us nearby. He has "lights out" at around 9 or 10 pm and he wakes up at around 6 am - 6:30 am. He has kept this same schedule since he was brought home the first day.
In addition, housebreaking takes a lot of patience and consistency. If you feed on a schedule and take your pup out very often, especially after eating, drinking, or play, he will eventually get the idea!
Yorkies are unbelievable to live with! Your pup will give you lots of love and joy!
Best of luck to you and your family! Merry Christmas |
good information.
Welcome to YT, these little guys are nothing but a bundle of love and joy to have around. The love you give will be returned 10 fold. Please have patience, training can be hard to handle, but do not hit a yorkie, they will never forget being hurt. These guys are very smart.
All the best to you. Merry christmas. pooh's mum
