[Yorkie104]

Ok, i hope i don't sound to harsh. That is entirely not my intention so please don't be offended. Here goes.

First of all, she is just a puppy. Puppies get into much mischief and have to be watched 24/7. That being said i will tell you the best statement i've ever heard and is 100% guarantee - "A tired pup is a good pup". I'm not sure of what kind of exercise you give her but something as simple as tossing a toy across the room and her retrieving it. A couple times will wear this little one out. They are very energentic and need to release that hyper energy.


Second. Way too much freedom for 5 months. Dolce is 1 and Peyton is 7 months and neither have free roam of the house unless we are there to supervise. Yorkies are known for stubborness when it comes to potty training and you need to go back to the basics and start over. I had to do this with Dolce. Started in an exercise pen and graduated to the kitchen. If she missed in the kitchen it was back to the pen. Always in the same area for the potty. i just put the pen in that area.

Third.... NO, NO, NO........every time she does something you don't want her to do simply say no and take her off the table or chair or whatever she is doing. No yelling, eventually she will know what NO means.

It is very sad that you mad an appt. to have her out of the house. Maybe you need to utilize a crate for when company is over and she needs to have quiet time. I use a bathroom that mine go in when we have family functions just because they are tiny and i don't want anyone stepping on them or the younger kids pulling at them. They know its quiet time and they go to sleep. The pen is good but you need a top not a higher pen. She may get hurt if she falls off. Peyton is a climber and the higher you make it the higher he goes. Every time he started to climb up and went over and said "No". He doesn't do it anymore. He knows he isn't allowed.

I wish you the very best with your little one but it takes a lot of work and a lot of patience and a lot of repitition. You can work thru these things if your willing to give it the effort. A 5month old is a puppy and you haven't even reached the teens yet. If you put the work in eventually you will have a well behaved, adjusted dog but not at 5 months.

Good luck.
