We have praised, we have scoulded, we crate her, we used pads, we use word association............she will stand outside the door and bark to be let in and do her business 2 feet from the door b/c she couldn't hold it long enough to run to her favorite hiding spots!!!!!!! She will stay in the bathroom while I'm at work and do nothing....but give her chance when no one is looking and WHAM-O! Our carpet is less than 2 years old and is a mess! I have children, there are health issues here. She PREFERS the house people!!! We have informed the kids, if she can't be broken soon she will have to go. I really wanted a Yorkie, knew they were hard to break---but this goes beyond anything I could have imagined. I can't even truly "bond" with her b/c it is so frustrating. If you walk to the back of the house, and there's poo, she puts her head down. So you can't tell me she doesn't realize she's doing wrong....but she doesn't care enough to not risk it. HELP!! She is 6 months old and very healthy. What can I do that truly works and QUICK!!!!
