totally understand how frustrating potty training can be. Being consistant is the most important concept. At pet smart they suggest putting your pup on a leash (use of a harness style for Yorkies) and this way you know where your pup is at all times...so you can watch her and when you feel that she is about to do her business...take her out side or if you want to pad train her..you can take her to her pee pad and tell her "go potty"...then if she pees..be sure to praise her and give her a treat immediately each and every time.
Crating her for mistakes will not train her...she will not know what she is being put in the crate for. The crate should be a "good place" and a safe and happy place that your pup will like to go to.
It takes time and patience....x-pens work great for when you can't watch her all the time..put her food, water and pee pads and her crate with her bed in it...it's a safe place for her and gives you some peace of mind.
Good Luck :-) |
