I could never do it, I have never had a problem house breaking any of my pups and i've had Labs,Husky,Great Dane,Papillon,and now the Yorkies. They sleep in the bed with us from the night they come home. I lay them next to me(just as some people do with babies) and every time they move they go out to potty.
We do that for about a week and then i'll let them "move" but watch them and if there just getting comfy then i'll move my leg/arm to touch them.
We have had the Yorkies(well 2 of them) a week today. There both doing pretty good Raider(my pup 7weeks) woke me up at 5am to go potty he pooped as soon as he got out there. The 11 week old that I just got on Monday is pretty much house broken already.
I understand if you have to work mine come to work with me.I like the confining to a small area over a crate if you have one.
I do have a crate it's open to them to go in and out here at the office to use for a bed. I have a carrier(for the 2 smaller ones) and that is what they perfer to sleep in its under my desk. Pheobe(the 11w old) has a bed under DH's desk. |
