His crate may be small, but it's not small enough. You need to block as much of the crate in the back so that all that's left up front is enough room for him to turn and lay down. (For Millie, we had the smallest crate we could find and 2/3rds of the crate was blocked until she started to grow and we would only remove a few inches at a time. She did not have access to a full crate until she was about 1 year old.)
Secondly, I would take her out at 10pm and go to bed and put her in the crate. (unless you really want to stay up until 12am) Then I would set my alarm and get up about 3 or 4am and take her out for a quick pee and back in the crate. I would do this especially if you are not going to wake up before 8am. Most Yorkies that I know, at that young age, have to get up about 5am because they can't hold it any longer no matter what time they go to bed at night. It's only when they get older that sleeping in until 8am is feasible. If she can reliably count on one pee break in the middle of the night, she will learn to hold it until she gets her break, but you must be reliable and consistent about the break. |
OKay thank you. i started blocking off his crate in the back. i didnt realize how much room he had in there lol. but he is doing much better. has not pottied it in !! yay !!
I have another question how do yall keep your yorkies interrested in eating ?? Cash gets side tracked & doesnt focus when eating unless i sit right beside him but, half the time that doesnt work either. Its like everything else is more interresting than eating. I leave his food down till he eats all of it but, i dunno i cant keep him interrested long enough to eat lol.
