I don't know how she would respond to the rain...She is an adult dog, but she's a rescue and I've only had her for 5 weeks. I'm very proud of her as she's learned to go outside. I don't need to tell her, she just goes when we're outside. Everything's been going well, except when it rained yesterday...I didn't know what to do. I started crating her and make her go on the patch when I take her out. She just won't go! She only peed twice the entire day...on the patch. Of course, we praised her like crazy, but it takes more than twice to register it in her head. Well, now that it's sunny, we are going to have a great day!  Rain rain rain, please go to Texas!! There's sent my prayers!  |
I just rescued an adult (9 year old) yorkie last saturday. From what I was told she was neglected and just kept for breeding. I think she was just kept in a pen all the time judging from some behaviors she is exhibiting in the house. Anyway, the first day I brought her home she attempted to pee on the carpet. I quickly corrected her. She also tried to poop on the carpet. I corrected that too. Since then she has not tried to pee or poop in the house at all. ok well i shouldn't say at all because i did put down a pee pad to see if she knew how to use that and she did pee on it.
One morning during the week it was raining when we went outside. I don't think she's ever seen rain because once she was in the rain and on the wet grass she freaked and tried to run through the screen door. I didn't have the time that morning to show her rain was ok so i just let her use the pee pad. We didn't have another wet day until today. This morning we woke up to snow....yes snow... Since I have no work today I had all the time in the world to stand out there and wait for her to go. I have her on a leash outside so she can't run back to the door. We were outside for 33 minutes before she finally did it. We were both snowy and wet but we had success. Later in the day she was quicker to pee when the snow turned to rain.
I did the same thing with morgan when she was a puppy.
