So, instead of judging and critizing these people - lets help them over the puppy hump. Once the puppy learns basic house manners - it will become part of the family. Help the pet owners help the yorkie!!! |
The problem is that by putting this 9 week old puppy in the garage it won't become the dog it could be. I have given suggestion after suggestion about potty training. I invited her and her husband to join yorkietalk..and then to say the puppy is going into the garage b/c you don't like the smell...idk it kind of stumped me. what 9 week old dog do you know that is potty trained. and yes i am aware how hard it is to train a puppy..i have a puppy mill rescue..try unteaching bad habits...it is even worse and that poor puppy is going to have an even worse time when it is older. it will be unsocialized and i know how difficult that is. i mean 10 months late and we are still working with Sophie constantly. I want to help them...that's why I asked for everyone's advice. this wasn't meant to be critical. i just want to help...what do you suggest?
