Hi Welcome to YT! Congrats on everything!
Potty training, eh, it's people patience training with Yorkies - LOL! I use potty pads with my two gremlins. They are doing really well all things considered. Mine are a few weeks older than your little guy. I am have been using rewards when mine go on the right place. I got a tube of peanut butter that Kong makes to fill up Kongs. I squeeze out a tiny bit and use that. They do not need a lot of treat, just a tiny bit. The tube is great because they get to lick it and think they are getting more than they are.
If you are training them outside (I have a lot of friends with big dogs) a lot of people go out every hour then two, etc. until they can hold it longer.
Yorkies are super smart and stubborn. They just need a lot of time and patience. Don't worry, you guys will get there. Two is not really much harder than one - they play off of each other. When one gets the reward, the other will run over and go potty real quick for some treat too! |
