There would be no way I would put him through that for 2 weeks! I think that is total abuse. After 2 weeks he would be emotionally scarred for a very long time.
There has to be another way, but I am getting frustrated. He goes 7-8 hours when we sleep, so I don't understand why he can't hold it for more than 2 hours during his waking hours.
It is not an everyday occurrence, but enough that I can't trust him which doesn't make me happy. I don't want to have to watch him every 10 minutes.
Why do Yorkies have housebreaking issues? I've talked to owners who just live with it. Even though, their pee and potty are miniscule, I still don't want to live with it. |
I promise you . . . your yorkie will NOT be emotionally scarred of you crate train him. Do some research on it. I am confident you will change your mind.
