Yorkies often are too smart for us. They know the drill but I think some just might not like dipping their tail down to the grass. Who knows! Still, it is important that after you figure out the time for that dog, you take them out. If it does not do the business then bring back in and place in a contained area. 30 minutes or so later, repeat. Some dogs are sort of ADD and don't think about why they are there. Do not let it "free" to play until the business is done. it won't be long and pooping allows for play and so they will poop fast. Mine do. They have learned they can not play at those times until the "business" is done. We take a long walk a day. They have learned to do their business at their regular place before the walk (so that they can play on the walk.) Each dogs "time" can be different. Praise like crazy so they know why they are there. |
