Paper train or outdoors?Which is Easier? I've had my Yorkie for over a month and I first started housebreaking him to go outside.Well he had many pee accidents in the house . I had him confined to our family room. He was very good to do poo outside. He would scratch at the sliding glass doors and that was his sign that he needed to go. This went on for 3 straight weeks full of pee accidents in the house.
Well that was summer vacation time and I had to go back to work and bring him with me. I would take him outside my store but he would not go ,he kept sniffing and I guess since he never peed or pooped there he would not go. Of course as soon as I brought him in the store he would pee and poop on the rug. Finally I decided to paper train. I bought those Hospital Bed pee pads at Walmart for $5 for a 18 in the pk. I put some of his pee on it and put it in a corner. Well as soon as he got the urge to pee he went straight to the pee pad on the floor and he peed right on it! I was happy and gave him a treat and kisses. Then he did poop on the pad as well. I placed the pad at home next to the sliding doors and he peed and pooped there as well!
It took me about 1-2 weeks to get him 99% paper trained. He's had very few accidents since then.
I think training him for 3 weeks at home andthen Istarted to train him at work might have confused him. But why or how did he get paper trained so fast!!!
Sorry for the long thread again!
