I finally got my new baby boy on Saturday, and I love him so much already!!! He is only 14 weeks old and his name is Gizmo, but he doesn't bark at all....i have been getting a little nervous. I mean he makes noises....like he whines about everything....and when he yawn (which is the cutest thing in the world) he makes a noise right before he is finished his good yawn. I was just wandering if this is normal, or if there is something wrong with him. I mean he is still a baby....but I thought they r born knowing how to bark?!?! I also know he is not deaf b/c when we play with his squeaky bone toy....he loves it when we make the bone squeak....thats when he plays with it!!!
I have another question....now I know that potty training a baby yorkie is next to impossible.....but I know there are potty trained yorkies out there!!! I just don't knwo how I am supposed to potty train Gizmo??? We bought some puppy training pads for him to go on.....but he never decides to actually relieve himself on them.....to add insult to injury....he normally goes right beside the training pad!! Which is both annoying as well as cute!!! We have a whistle that we blow wen he goes on the floor....just to distract him from continuing on the floor so we can pick him up and take him to the pad. We then make him sit on the pad for a while and after he is finished sitting on the pad we soak up some of his pee with the pad and let him sniff it....so he knows to go on the pad......I was wondering if we are on the right track with this potty training thing....or if there are different or better ideas about it. Thank very much.
