My 5 month old yorkie female, Harley, only goes outside. She's had about 3 accidents in the 3 months I've had her, which I think is pretty darn good, but thats mainly because she's never left alone. She's either with me & my husband, or she's in her pen so it's easier for me to keep up with. In addition, she's on a schedule for feeding and napping so I've just about got it down to a science as far as when she needs to go. Fortunately, for the last 2 weeks, she's been running to our front door and waiting patiently...LOL...In fact, just 2 days ago I was getting ready for work and she ran out of the bedroom. I told my husband that she was headed his way and she did just that...ran to the door and he asked her "you gotta go potty"? and she did a little turnaround and that was that...he let her out, and she went and came back to the door to be let in. I'm so proud of her....but it wasn't easy...and I still work with her everyday on other things. It takes a lot of patience and consistency.... |
