There is lots of good advise here but one thing that I don't think was mentioned. When he does pee it HAS TO BE CLEANED with one of the wonderful cleaning products just for that purpose you can buy at pets mart or other pet stores. This scent will stay there forever and it tells them this is where I should go. (regular household cleaning products will not work)
Tethering is a great idea and this idea goes back hundreds of years so keep that up. Now I do believe that a yorkie can be 100% trained but if two people are working, five days a week, you will have to live with some miss haps and we must realize it is not the dogs fault.
I love belly bands as well and with a male so great for visiting but when you get in the dog's mind, they can't understand why it is ok to pee sometimes and at other times not. It really reinforces the problem.....yet I know if it means the difference between keeping the dog or not, I'd go belly bands too.
All of this is just my opinion and I am no expert. Good Luck with this little guy. |
