It took a while for my two boys to get it, my first two never used a pee pee pad, as much as I tried, I conclude it was my fault, when iciest got them as puppies, I read that its confusing to try and teach both inside and outside so pick one so I picked outside. I wanted them to go outside more but In Retrospect I wish I would have taught them the other way pee on paper inside then let them know it was ok to go outside. My friends summed it up best my dogs knew they were supposed to go outside but didnt know they were not supposed to go inside. It took a while for them both to get it. I was a huge buyer of natures miracle, and had a carpet cleaner when needed, mind you it was more marking than making a puddle. A good black light was my friend. I am a crazy about my house being clean. New house is all wood on first floor. I'm sure it will get better my vet said yorkies are tough. That being said and how much I hated a how much fife marked in the house, he loved to hit the bed skirt in the spare rooms, I would not complain one time if I could spend a few more months with either of my boys. I miss them terribly. My friend just ordered the potty patch it's a box with real grass, she changes it each week or so, says it's great and no smell... Her yorkie doesn't go in the house anymore, and he did for 6 years. I'm sure it will get better. |
