Hello I have a two year old Yorkie named Haleigh. I feel really embarrassed to admit to this, but I have tryed potty training haleigh several times in the past, and she just didnt get it. So I decided to use Puppy Diaphers for a few months. But here just recently since she turned two, I have a real high expection that she can get it, after I got her fixed 3-months ago, she gained alittle weight, and acts alittle more calmer. So i decided to give this one last try. I dont want her in diaphers for the rest of her life, I thought long and hard about it.
So Im looking for anyone to give me some good hints, lead me in the right direction. Here is what I have been doing with her. At night haleigh sleeps in a baby play pen, beside my bed, she never goes potty in it. Never did. I let her out her morning and she goes potty outside, when she comes in I give her a treat and tell her she is a good girl. I let her run around in my site for a few mins before Im off to work, from there i put her in a large running pen for the day, there are pee pee pads in there which she uses. When I get home, I let her out every hour. She usually goes, but if its been 2 hours and she wont go for me, i put her in her play pen for 15 mins or so, than usually when i let her back out she will go outside, again than treating her with a treat.
Please if anyone can give advise, or tips, that would be great......Thank you so much. Also if anyone could tell me how long it usually takes for them to caugh on. Its only been a week, she doesnt go to the door on her own,. I just pick her up and take her......
Thanks for listening, any advise would really really really help
