You won't know unless you try, right?
I have a male Yorkie who is extremely well trained, lovable and can
hold it for more than 9hrs. He has never maked in my home or anyone's
else's. Never used a pad or belly band. Crate training was successful
for us after 5 wks. He's healthy, loveable and happy.
Who could ask for anything else? So I did something right.
I believe in my vet so his word to me is what I do. Everything he told
me came true with great success. Of course I would never delibertely
leave him for more that 9hrs but If I'm caught in traffic or want to
sleep in Bud is just fine. If it's done right it will be successful.
