WE'VE CLEARED THE TWO WEEK MARK! YEE HA!!

We're going all the way, baby! All the way!

I'm so proud of my little stinker. broodizt, last month, I felt exactly the way you do. Don't give up. Thor had 2 years of experience going anywhere he wanted, AND he's kinda dumb, AND he's stubborn. If he can catch on, anyone can. I think it's a matter of figuring out what's going to work for you and your yorkies.

One thing I'll say is that if you are discovering spots, I think you need to watch them more closely. If you can't watch them more closely, they should be crated. That seemed to be the turning point with Thor. Since I put him in his crate and didn't give him freedom until he pottied, he has not had a single accident. And I only needed to crate him a few times before he started taking the initiative to potty on his own.

The other thing is fabulous treats every time he goes, like a piece of cheese or roast beef.

Corrine Parrott, I love that little bone basket! Where did you get it?
