The 2nd dog, is 1-1/2 yrs old, again got her at 6 weeks, and you know the hours we work, fully house trained no problem. Then there was that Yorkie that I could not train...we gave her away to a good home..I still keep in touch with the owners, and guess what? They cannot train her either! Then my 4th dog is my puppy.
YES I absolutly got rid of the 1st Yorkie because I could not house train her. I tried everything, and simply put, I do not want a dog that I cannot house train. That is my right is it not? Guess what else? I still keep in touch with the owners of her now, and they cannot train her either, and they have several Yorkies...that are house trained...
I am sorry, I cannot be convinced that if a dog is not house trained it is ALWAYS the owners fault. I also cannot believe that I am being attacked because of a simple question. I am so sorry for the intrusion...You people are unbelievable!
Those with answers that were actually useful, thank you.. |
No you are unbelievable for throwing out a member of your family (because thats what they are) because you yes YOU couldnt house train her.
Just because you have had other dogs dosnt mean you will have the same experiences with training.
ALL dogs are different and larger breeds usually learn alot quicker then smaller breeds.
I am not attacking you for asking a simple question, I am giving my opinion which is allowed because this is a public forum and that is how I feel.
If you want sugar coated advice then you wont get anywhere with this dog.
