Never tell a Yorkie 'No' when potty training. They are too smart and won't get that you mean 'No, not here'. They will think that 'No' means don't potty anywhere! So catch her pottying on the pad, and praise her and give a treat.... Ignore all accidents. Watch her so you can learn her signals too. That'll speed up the training some. Good LucK! |
I absolutely agree with all of this! My fifteen year old IG, who has always gone outside to do her business, started using a spot in my kitchen to urinate. And she sneaks out there to do it! She gets a diruretic 3X a day, so I, plus with her age, I just can't get onto her about it. I've been putting potty pads down in that spot and Opal uses them all the time. No training needed!
