Our Yorkie Tico, is about a year old, and maybe 90% potty trained. We still have to put him in a pen when we leave. The moral of the story, is that it is a long haul with this breed.
I find that this site has lots of good advice. If your having problems with training, think outside the box. What works for one dog, may not work on the other, and vica versa.
A big help for us, was when we got Tico neutered. He was marking his territoy, and just kinda of mixed up all together. He went from less than 50% potty trained to about 90% after we neutered him, so that might be a thought.
One more thing, I used to yell at Tico for pissing in the house, but this was the worst thing to ever do with this small breed. He became scared to pee around me. As soon as I was out of the house or room for more than a few minutes, then he would piss. The bad part was that he wouldn't pee in front of me, so there was no way to correct him. This made it very difficult. |
