We litter trained our Yorkie and absolutely love it!
No stinky pee pee pads or messes to worry about. He can be home alone. He just runs to his litter box to eliminate.
He is a Year and a half now, but when he was a puppy, we put him in a good size pen in the kitchen with a litter box, with paper on the floor in case of an accident. Every half hour or so, we put him in the litter box and said, "go Potty". If he did we would praise him and give him a tiny treat. He got the hang of it very soon. After we were confident that he got the idea, we gated off the kitchen and put his litter box in plain view. Very seldom did he make a mistake. If he did, we would say No and put him in the litter box and say, Go Potty. The litter box is now in the laundry room.
We get a No Dust, clumping litter at Wal-Mart. It Never never has an odor. When we see a clump, we just take it out and put it in a small plastic bag and toss it. When he poops, we just pick it up with toilet tissue and flush it.
Great for travel, as we take it with us. No rainy, or night time walks! |
