 Have you tried treats for good behavior
I am new to the Yorkie world, but have always had a dog of some kind. Smokie was housebroke when we got him, but I still go out with him, praise him when he goes outside, and give him a treat. I may find in the future he will have an accident, but I am finding that he responds very highly to praise and a treat. I use a treat called Jerky Treats - comes in a tan bag and is natural - not high fat "junk food" treat. He just gets a little bite, but knows when he is good he is going to get a treat. A gate to make him stay downstairs because he hasn't been good is a good idea. When he can show you better manners, he can try upstairs again. Can't hurt to try.....Good luck |
