Honestly, tell your bf that "yelling" at a dog does absolutely nothing to get them to stop that behavior, it only makes them excitable, nervous and confused. A human yelling at a dog is the same thing to them as another dog barking at them. If you see her going on the floor, frimly but gently tell her "no" and move her to the pee pad, then when she goes there, praise. Yorkie's are tricky to housebreak and it takes a while, but regression is alot of the time caused by a stress factor, so IMHO your bf yelling at her could definatly be the cause. |
I strongly agree.
Also, when she does use the piddle pad correctly, be sure to praise profusely. Never stop giving praise. With my 2 boys, I still throw parties, "Good boy! Woohoo! That's my good puppy!" I still give them a kibble intermittently to reward them. They love the positive attention, so I don't they would dream of pottying in the wrong place.
