Well, I got Sheila at 8 weeks and she was on a crazy home cooked diet from the breeder. The 1st few days were scary because she was nervous but I did slowly bring her over to dog food and she was fine. I have a crate but haven't crate trained her. I have a sealed of area from my bedroom to the bathroom when we sleep. I have no carpetng here except a few throw rugs and she took to the pee pads right away. She still has the occasional accident (at 14 weeks) but they are rare. She is in daycare and I highly recomend it if it's available in your area. She can't play with the other puppies because of her small size but she is around them and sees lot's of people and dogs every day. If you choose daycare be carefull, Sheila's requires proof of all shots and puppies are grouped by shots/age. There have been a few people that have dogs there that say she is the best yorkie they have ever seen in terms of temperment. Socialization is important to yorkies IMHO. |
