 new puppy training questions
hey there, i am new to the forums and to yorkies, my husband and i purchased an 8 week old little girl, named molly and we're already head over heels in love with the little thing as is our two year old chihuahua/s**tzu mix. i did read the threads above on training and have already started her on a schedule and so far she's done great peeing outside instead of in the house. however, we've not been able to get her to poop outside, she always waits until she comes in no matter how long we keep her out there. any suggestions on how to get her to do ALL of her business outside?
our other question is about crate training, every time we put her in there she cries/screams for anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. we've read to never take her out when she's fussing and to praise her when she's silent for at least 5 minutes but nothing seems to lessen how upset she is which is especially troubling at night when we're trying to sleep. any suggestions would be wonderful |
