I read that book when ours were pups but I did not use that method. I don't feel like it is the right method for Yorkies. They are little which means very small bladders. Our pups responded to lots of positive reinforcement and A LOT of patience. It was at least 6 months before they were at about 90% trained and I would say about 1 year old before I was 100% confident. If your pup is only a few months old, you have a long way to go with training. Be patient and don't expect too much too soon. From what I understand, they can only barely control their bladder at this age. They will gain more bladder and muscle control as they get older. Good luck! Give it some time and you will get there. |
