It was SO easy with my new Female Becca....

As before (with My Male), I put Paper down in front of the Doggy Door.
When she did it in the wrong place, I blotted it up, slipped
it between the layers of Paper, giving her a tangible location
for future deposits (scent). The "wrong" area was cleaned, and
sprayed with a neutralizer, so future associations would be
minimized.

With the assistance of My Male Sneakers (she follows him around),
she started going outside (when ever they want to), and she had
very few mistakes. I really believe Yorkies do not want to soil where
they live. Now (some months later) she has the capacity to make
it through the periods where the Doggy Door is closed. (over night)
But, I do give them both set breaks between 8pm and 8am.

That Doggy Door has been such a blessing.
Not only to allow them relief when they need it, but, giving me
the freedom to not be too concerned with a Schedule for them.
I also have food out 24/7, and they eat (on their own) twice a
day, 4.30am and 4.30pm. Again, Sneakers developed this habit
on his own, and has led her into the same. His leadership has
been invaluable.

Yorkshire was bread to be independent. Tasked to do a job,
expected and allowed to complete it without Human intervention.
I have tried to "encourage" that individuality in my Animals,
and it has worked very well for me.

I know that many don't use Doors, but, it sure has been
convenient for me.
