I am very happy about a few things with Ozzy. #1 - he does go outside, and usually pretty fast. #2 - he sleeps all night and doesn't have to wake us up at 2 or 3 a.m. to go outside. #3 - i sense he has a real desire to make me happy, which works in my favor as far as training goes.
It's still stressful to me when he does go inside though. Then I feel bad because I don't want him to feel my frustration. I think my boyfriend will be happy when he's potty trained too... it puts me in a really bad mood when Ozzy has accidents. |
Your response almost scares me in regards to your pup. NEVER use any form of violence in response to training your pup. It only makes them scared of you and causes lots of self esteem problems that will make potty training even harder. It seems your expectations for a puppy are a bit high. Your pup is a baby right now and it will take time and patience.
I have been frustrated to say the least many many times over my dogs accidents, but it does not put me in a bad mood or make me angry.
Yorkies really are people pleasers, all of them are, they want nothing more than to make you happy. If you think he is not potty training, try picking up a book specific to Yorkies to find some ways to help you help him to potty train easier. Just keep at it, he will get it in time.
