I've also tried crate training, but my neighbors complained about his crying while in the crate. I believe that I introduced him to the crate properly because he loves it and goes into it on his own when he wants to get away from everyone. Prince is very smart and I see potential in him to learn how to use the potty quickly, with the right guidance.

Basically now that I'm out of school, I figured I could train him, but since I'm interviewing for jobs, I assume I'll get hired soon. So I have a proposition for all the NY Yorkie owners that stay at home. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount to have my baby trained to go indoors. I could bring him to you every morning for a week and watch you train him so that I could learn. I am also willing to leave him with you for a few days or however long it takes, considering that I approve of your living conditions, training methods and home environment. I just need him to get trained or I will have to give him away. I love him way too much to just give him away. I will provide you with food, clothes, toys, crate. Whatever I'll buy whatever you need to do the job. If you are interested, please respond. I WILL PAY!! If you just have advice, contact me. I'm stressed out with this situation and I definitely know Prince is, on top of him being confused.

Hi

when I first got ruby she would go to the toilet everywhere and I really did not want that to happen so I confined her to the kitchen during the day and with myself and her toys when I got home in the evening and never took my eyes off her and praised her to the roof when she went on the paper repeating "good girl" and "wee wee on the paper" and showing her the paper until I was blue in the face. However after 2 weeks it must have finally clicked because she was house trained after that. So giving up 2 weeks really paid off! So much so, that now if we go anywhere to visit I just have to put a bit of paper down and show her where and she goes on it and runs to tell me when she has been.
