Still... he doesn't go potty every single time I take him out. When he does, I do the whole "good puppy!" and give him a treat. But if we're in my house and he has to go potty, he just goes. Most of the time it's just a little bit, which makes me think it has more to do with not consciously knowing he has to go potty. But sometimes he goes numero dos in hidden corners, behind furniture. I only yell No when I catch him in the act, but I'm not sure if he's catching on.
Tips? Tricks? What to do??  |
Hi there! I am also a new yorkie owner and am crate training as well. My pup happens to sleep straight through the night and hasn't ever gone to the bathroom in her crate. We are very lucky in that area.
My first thought would be to ask how much food and water your pup has in the last 2 or 3 hours before bed?
