[Yorkies4life4ev]

My husband and I have 2 Yorkies of which we keep outside during the day. We originally kept them inside in a round pen during the day, but after having several issues with house breaking and chewing, we contacted a breeder who provided the following advice...

1. Get the dogs a large enough pen so they can run and play, BUT make sure it's covered from all elements.
2. Provide the dogs with a safe place to rest ie. dog house which needs to include blankets for comfort (especially since they struggle with separation anxiety).
3. Make sure the dogs have adequate food and water, changed daily.
4. Clean area thoroughly every day (pickup the poop)

Once we incorporated this area into our dogs lives they became much happier. Their anxiety has decreased and their ability to focus during training has increased drastically

Good luck!!
