Second he did not lie on it to hide it, dogs don't think like that. They live in the moment and what they did or you did two seconds ago no longer matters to them.

He simply is not getting the message of what you want. Not your faault, not his fault, it's a language barrier. if what you have tried in the past isn't working, get creative and think of a new way to get him to understand you.

Working closely with your dog and teaching him other things might help him to understand you better.

You also might want to try blotting up his pee with a pee pad so it has that smell on it.

Good luck.


Yorkies can be difficult to train it just takes patience and creativity on your part.

Putting him in a little larger crate, and dividing the crate into separate areas might help. Potty in one area and sleep and play ing the other.

That was a great post and awesome advice!
