I used a puppy pen (superyard xt) outside to potty train my two baby yorkies. I would put them in it and told them to potty and wouldn't take them out until they did. (Sometimes, I've been known to walk around the pen to get them moving.) If it took a long time, I just took them out, watched them closely, and put them back in when I felt they needed to go. I cut the grass shorter on one side of the yard so it's easier for our small ones. I no longer use the pen because they know what potty means and where they should go. Ally hates the dew, but will reluctantly go out there when I tell her to potty. Tia looks at me as if I were crazy and just trotts out there to potty. Ally will not go out in the rain, but I have taken both out with a big umbrella (one at a time) and they will go potty. They will potty on command now. Can't wait 'till hurricanes hit us and we have to work thru that!!!!! |
