 some solutions
Hello! I'm a new Yorkie mom as well. My Boomer is 13 weeks old. We've been together for 10 days now. What works for me is taking him out for his last potty breaks at 11:00pm then 1:00am. Then he "goes to his room" in his crate next to my bed. Once he's in I close the door and say nite-nite and give him a treat. He whines a little and I'll say, "settle down, nite-nite" and when he stops I'll give him a treat and say, "good boy!" I'll turn off the lights and a night light about 5 feet away comes on - it's just enough for him to see me in bed. He eventually falls off to sleep. He's up to five hours without needing to go potty. So I at least sleep til 6am. I increase my alarm by 15min a night for sleep time - he's coming along fine!! |
