 Pee Pads/Newspapers
Okay... I'm NOT trying to be rude, just understand. I read all this stuff about how the yorkie puppies are "wee wee (I *hate that word, lol) pad trained. And, how people keep using aforementioned pads even after puppy is in their new homes. Doesn't this wee pad business just serve to confuse the puppy? Why not just begin taking them straight into the grass? My other dog, Casey (she passed last month, but I had her since she was 4 weeks old), never peed on paper. I began taking her into the grass and, while she was not a yorkie, she never once had any housebreaking issues. With Pippi, my Yorkie, I got her at a pet store (bad, I now know. She was aging out there, though) and I was really concerned about housetraining her, since she peed/pooed where she was in the store. But, I'd take her outside and wait, for however long it took. She rarely had accidents and is now 100% housetrained. So, the question I have is this: isn't it better to show them where you want them to go, rather than messing w/pads & papers? |
