We got Bella at 8 months, we were her 3rd home after leaving the breeder. She was rehomed with us after a family tragedy and her 2nd home had children too young for such a small Yorkie. Bella did very well adjusting to our home. We gave her LOTS of love and attention and followed closely what the previous owners had done to bathe, potty train, crate at night, etc. We even used the same words, etc. After about 2 hours in our home she seemed comfortable. She did have some minor setbacks in potty training but with patience, praise, treats, and LOTS of enthusiasm we made it through. We have had her for over 1 year now and she is a happy, well adjusted, 100% potty trained WONDERFUL young lady. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. |
