Hi everyone,

So i've had Hudson (9 mos) for about a week now and he's doing great with peeing outside. I've been crate training him and although he had a few accidents indoors I think he's been doing a pretty fantastic job given his new surroundings. I think the "accidents" are just him "marking" though not because he can't hold his bladder. He has not been neutered yet. I take him out first thing in the morning, about 4 times during the day and then once more before bedtime.

Unfortunately getting him to poop outside has been more difficult. My breeder said that they normally poop about 30 minutes after they've eaten so I should try and watch for this. He's pooped 3 times since I've gotten him. The 1st time was in my living room. I actually saw him scamper around and I knew he had to go so I took him outside for 15 minutes but he didn't go and then as soon as I brought him back in he went! The 2nd time was at the dog park and the 3rd time was this morning. He pooped in his crate sometime during the night and I was sad b/c poor thing was sleeping right next to it till i came down in the morning and let him out.

Does anyone have tips for training your yorkie to poop outdoors? Thanks guys!
