Yes, I am a stay-at home mom. I take her out every 15 minutes or so. Like I said she does use the puppy pad all the time, but how can I teach her to go outside if I offer her a place to go inside and she never learns to wait to go outside. There are a lot of people on this site who are quick to attack people who post. That is one reason I always hesitate, but I thought this would be the best place to seek training tips for yorkies. I have spoken with the breeder and she told me to call a dog trainer, which I did and that trainer told me if it were her she would take it back to the breeder because I would never be able to housetrain a dog that would poop in it's own crate which is super tiny. I sat outside with her today and my daughter for 2 hours and she would never poop until I brought her inside to her xpen. So maybe she will get it eventually and I am being patient, but it's hard when other breeders and a professional dog trainer told me her behavior was not normal. I love her and will take all the time in the world with her to train her, but I guess I feel like I am doing something wrong. Everyone I talk to says they have never had a dog poop in it's own crate. It is not because she is not given the opportunity to go outside or kept in her crate too long. |
