I'm new, but I have been trying to read as many posts as I can. I've noticed that I haven't come across anything about litter box training yorkies. I was just curious if there is anyone out there that has done this also?
Silvia is almost five years old and we litter box trained her. It started out as a temporary solution to chewed up puppy pads all over the house, but it turned into a permanant thing. It has been a lifesaver as far as being able to leave her home alone overnight and not worrying, or not making it home in time to take her outside, etc. Also, when we realized that Silvia was going to be much smaller than we anticipated, it worried us to take her outside to do her business because she won't walk through the grass. She's so close to the ground that it bothers her and her tummy barely clears the grass. She's hilarious, like a cat with tape on the paws!
Speaking of a cat, we do have two cats, and I was at first worried about them wanting to use her litter box, but that has never been an issue. The dog litter is much larger than cat litter and is made of recycled newspaper. It is comparable to the size of a pencil in circumference and the pieces are a 1/2" - 1" long. The cats have never even stepped foot in the box, and don't seem interested in it at all.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has done this. And I was also wanting to put the idea out there for people looking for housebreaking solutions, since I haven't seen anything on it.
