Second Im sorry you have to have surgery and hopefully you will have a very speedy recovery. I think weve talked about Izzy and Kash before. Dont feel bad Izzy is making very little progress. I dont think weve done the puppy potty dance 1 time yet and weve had her 14 days. If I catch her in the act I will tell her no and take her to a pad and she thinks Im playing so I guess she sucks it back up lol sorry TMI!! She stays in my master bathroom when we cant watch her with a gate and we keep the TV on Animal Planet. She is perfect in every way except potty training  . Shes not much of a barker she doesnt cry much (never cries during the night until about 7:00 am). I have put down a plastic table cloth (3.50 at dollar store) right in front of the gate I used duck tape to keep it secure, and I have to put a puppy pad down right on top of the table cloth I used duct tape to secure that also, the pad is right in front of the gate and thats where she pees most of the time . Ive tried to move it to another area and it doesnt work. She also has a closet area in the bathroom with food water and another puppy pad and she never uses it, but thats where I want her to go . Izzy is 4 months old. I feel so much more ease since I put down that plastic because I know pee is not sitting on the floor. As far as food we just started with a new one yesterday,the breeder had her on royal conin 33 and Ive bought Taste of the Wild (6 star and 21.99 for a 15lb bag at Tractor Supply) and she loves it, Ive just given her a few kibbles because she will pick these out and eat them and leave the RC and I dont want her to get the runs lol. Im sorry this is long but I wanted you to know that Im not having a easy time with potty training. Hang in there hopefully it will get better for us.  |
yes, you sound like you're having my problem.
but i don't fret about it TOO MUCH because the internet says a yorkie doesn't begin house breaking until 5 or 6 months, and my friend has a 6 month old yorkie who is nearly house broken with a few accidents so i'd believe it.
i'm just glad sophie knows to pee on her pads and outside.
i'm not stressing her too much considering she is only 11 weeks old,
but i make sure to reward her when she potties,
and never rub her nose in it or scold her too much when she potties on the floor.
i just pick her up and try to put her on the pad before she finishes her business.
hehe
