I haven't done it since.. Yorkies are so TENDER HEARTED. You could alter your babies entire personality for flicking the nose. Please don't do that... Have a stern voice with short word commands. I would crate the dog in a different room if I were you. Take your baby out to pee and then crate her. Then you will know she doesn't need to use the potty. You have to remember their bladders are really small and they can't hold it as well as a larger puppy. I don't want to hurt your feeling, but seems like you don't have much patience with your puppy. Ever since we got Mia, we have been getting up with her at 6:00. We don't like it much either, but she is our baby and we do what we have to, and usually she will go back to sleep or me or my husband gets up with her. They are like babies and when they're ready to get up, thery're ready. Anyway I hope I helped and I dhope you don't hate me. Yorkies are for yorkie lovers and you may not be a yorkie person. I also have a sheltie who will sleep as long as we sleep and never, ever complains. Best dog in the world and nothing at all like my Mia.. She requires so much more, but I love her and will continue to do it as long as she is with me.... Good luck, you are lucky he's potty trained so well.  |
As far as u saying i do not have enough patients for my chewy that does not make since to me, if i did not have patients i would not be on here trying to find the methods others have used for this situation. I love my chewy more than anything. I simply do not want him to think he rules the house, and getting up at 6am when i get home from work at 12 does not make since to me at all. Everyone has different ways of parenting and mine is working just fine in every other aspect. He was trained by the time he was 5 months to do his business outside, he was trained on a schedule and i was just curious as to if anyone else's yorkie had veered for the schedule before and what they did to do that. I have a very precious yorkie who i rescued from a puppy mill and put more money than i had in nursing it to health...that is patients. As far as u not wanting to be mean, u were not...u were being judgmental...and thats not in my character to tell someone how to raise their pup or family so i wont, but i suggest that u ask more questions before you pass judgment next time. u saying ur babys are like ur kids, how would u like it if someone told u maybe ur kids just weren't for u?
