Nature's Miracle, sold at most petstores, is what really helped us. He wouldn't pee in the same spot then.

At night time, I had a crate for him with a soft blankie right next to our bed. He understood that he was sleeping there and we slept in our bed. He never peed in his bed, the brat!
Now, ofcourse, all 5 sleep with us in our bed and hog the comforter!

It took us almost a year and a half to potty train our little Bruiser and we ended up getting wood floors, in the family and living rooms, for I could never feel the carpets ever got really deep cleaned, even though I had a monthly contract with Stanley Steemers, the carpet cleaning guys.

We had taken him to the vet's to see if he had any urinary tract infections and they discovered that he needed liver shunt surgery. So, the lesson learned, is that the puppies understand that in order to get your attention they have to do something brazen.

Take your little bud to the vet's and have them do a liver enzyme test alongwith a blood and urine test, hopefully, its nothing, but rule out the possibility.

Your hubby needs to realize that your doggie is just a toddler and needs some training time. Yes, it is his home, but, he is sharing it with people and pets who are together because of love. This is family. And everyone tries to help one another when it is a family. And your yorkie baby is just that, he is a baby who needs a lot of patience and training to be the best little boy that he can be, when he is all grown up.

Remind your husband how long it took to potty train your son

I hope your yorkie does have Pet Steps that he is using for jumping off and on your bed.

You'd be surprised at how many fractured and seriously injured yorkies we saw, when I was volunteering at local shelters. The owners would usually say, " But he/she does that all the time". These guys are fearless and so playful, they don't think and anyways, its hard on their joints when they get older.

Petco, petsmart and www.dog.com all sell doggy steps and if you are an ebayer, you will find them there too.
