Another instance is that the big dog goes to the bathroom at the back of the fence and we let the little one go right at the front porch because his poo isn't as large, so now our big dog thinks he can go right by the porch and im sure you can imagine the mess! lol so i guess im on the same page as you are! |
It's so hard!! Our bigger dog is still a puppy, she's 8 months old so her listening span isn't that good yet. I just feel bad in a way but at the same time not. Maybe I am overreacting, I don't know, but my poor yorkie is so little and I feel she needs mama more lol.
My mom has a yorkie and a big 80 lb boxer. The boxer isn't allowed on the couches or bed. In the basement theres a couch that my mom does allow her on and she goes down there and lays on it often. The yorkie sleeps with my mom and goes on the couch. The boxer doesn't seem to mind it at all and it works out good for her. The boxer is about 8 yrs old and the yorkie is 10 months old.
