So now my neighbors know me as the crazy lady who puts diapers on her dogs.
The bad thing about it is when they have a poop they come right to me to change them. Whats up with that.
Won't go on pads or outside but will come and pester when they need a diaper change.
I think I have just raised myself little monsters  |
Well, you are an angel for taking the rescues, so that more than balances it all out.
I would think it would be extremely difficult to train three untrained dogs at once. Though obviously they are trainable since they know to come to you for a change....

I was so upset early last night. I had just taken the old paper (with pee on it ) out of the drop pan in her crate, wiped down the drop pan and bottom grate in her crate with Nature's Miracle ( of which I should buy stock in ). I left the door open to her crate. I turned around and she was in her crate. I thought ok, but as I looked closer she was peeing. She just walked right in there and peed . I am just beside myself. She didn't even tell me she had to go.
I don't know what to do with her anymore. Right before I put her in the crate at night, about midnight, I take her out to potty. I get up about 5:45a and take her out. Sometimes, (most times) she has already messed in her crate. She is 8 months old and I would think she would be able to hold it longer than 6 hours. She is not fed late.
This just makes me crazy as the other 2 yorkies I had, never did this. I was so very lucky with them and I NEVER had a problem with potty training them. I guess I was just very, very lucky. |
AbbysMom08, I don't have an answer for you, but I am looking for one. Hang in there!
