OMG that was tooooo funny!!!! I almost pee'd myself. That trainer was NOT talking about Yorkies....and, as previously stated in one of my responses, I truly believe it takes 4 full years for them to get it...hehehehehe. My female places her front paws on the mat and poops off the side. It's actually funny, because she kicks back like a goat as if to say, "Hey, mommy, I did it." Ever since I began taking her for very long walks, she has changed immensely for the better. Now, she won't go in the house at all. The male, however, is 6 months and is a purebreed Yorkshire TERROR!!!! Good luck and thanks for the huge laugh..
