4 month old Yorkies don't know they have to go until like 2 seconds before they do. I hate to say it, but take the blankets away. Some of them will go on the blankets. Loki used to go on his blanket and then shove it under the crack in the crate so he didn't have to sit on it. The crate can only have enough room for them to lie down, stand up and turn around. Make sure it is a VERY small space.
She will not learn to go outside on her own. Take her outside and wait for her to go. Make a HUGE deal about it and give her an awesome treat when he goes in the right spot. Repeat a million times! If she makes a mistake and you don't see her, just ignore it and clean it up. If I caught Loki (usually I did) I would grab him and say POTTY OUTSIDE and carry him quickly to the grass - then praise him when he went on the grass. Expect her to try, but not be 100% successful until she is about 6 months old. That's when they tend to figure it out and are able to hold it for a little while. Good luck!!! |
