Any suggestions anyone please??? I am getting so frustrated and need advice. |

DJ is still very young! You need to be patient with him. Please trust me, I KNOW it's frustrating to have to clean up so many accidents. During your research, did you see the fact that yorkies can be one of the most difficult breeds to potty train? I noticed you said he pushes his pee pad up against the wall. have you tried using one of those tray things or taping it to the floor? I suggest one of those. Also, he's so young that if you turn your head, you're frankly just looking for trouble - it's just like a little human baby. You also should be taking him outside every hour or two - his bladder is still teeny tiny, as are his bowels (but he will pee more than poop). Or are you only using the pee pads? If so, you should stop all activities every hour and put him on the pad with the command "go potty"...he will eventually get it
He probably wants to play all the time because he technically should still be with his momma and siblings - and playing is what he would do with them. With the biting, if you try an "ow" or "no" in a firm, loud voice, he might get the picture. If not, pop him on the nose with
one finger, and not too hard, just enough to surprise him and make him think "oh, that's not ok to do".
if it comes down to it and you don't want him, you may deliver him to my house
(TOTALLY kidding...my husband would kill me!!!)
