Now he is trained to go outside when it's nice weather and inside when it's pouring and in the winter when it snows. However, he seems to think every rug in my house is a wee-wee pad!! I have pulled all the rugs out of my house and he sometimes is good about using the wee-wee pad, but 8 times out of 10 he misses the pad and I have to clean pee mess constantly. I am now 7 months pregnant and want him to be somewhat trained once my baby arrives because with a newborn and baby Louie messes, I am going to go insane!! I am so tired these days and cleaning up his pee constantly is hard! Does anyone have any suggestions, am I doing something wrong here???? Also, he pees constantly....sometimes every 10 minutes, is this normal?? Thank you for letting me vent! I love my baby and I just want him to be trained properly so that we can spend more time playing together and less time with me on my hands and knees cleaning pee mess. |
I wish I had better news for you. My little girl is going to be 2 years old December 9. I had her in a crate for about the 9 months that we had her and like you, when she would wine and look at me with those eyes It would just break my heart so...I would bring her in bed with us. Sadie hasn't done well with pottie training at all. If she is out side she will do her thing and I praise her. When she is inside, and I have wee-wee- pads all over the place, she will go on my rugs as well. Alot of times she will make it on the pad but not enough. By this time she should be totally trained. I did alot of research on yorkies before I invested the money and one of the things it did say about them is that they are hard to house break because of their size. I have put my order in for another, Sadie needs a playmate, for next year from a very reputable breeder here where I live. She assured me that all her puppies are litter box trained before they leave. I tried that also but she ate the litter, I used pee pads in it but she was afraid to go it in..I just don't know what to do anymore either..If you find something that works please let me know!
