 Patience is the Key!
We had good success potty training our little Bella. Here's my best pieces of advice.
1. Be patient, calm, and encoraging. No matter how frustrated you feel never show it in your voice OR body language.
2. Watch carefully, each Yorkie has body language that lets you know they are getting ready to potty. Sniffing, circling, walking perimeter of room.
3. Take out every 30 min. Say your command, ours was "go potty". Keep leash short, don't allow them to wander more than to find their potty place. If they go, praise, love, special treat they really like.
4. Accidents happen. Clean up. We never showed any reaction to accident accept we would say, "outside, go potty".
5. The more time you put in the faster it will happen.
6. We did no pee pads, just outdoors.
7. Repetition, praise, tasty treat, lots of love and excitement when she was successful.
Hang in there. It does happen and you do forgot what hard work and dedication it took to accomplish the task. But, believe me, it is worth it.
They can be potty trained. It just takes time. |
