This potty training is really hard with these Yorkies, we had a mini-pin and she learn right away and back in her day it was newspaper to potty on and a noise rubbing and a spanking if she went in the wrong place.
Now they tell you not to yell at them or spank them. So it's the new age of potty training.
Our friend said teach them the 3 P's, Pee, Poop, Pad and they will learn to go that's a laugh. They would rather tear the potty pad up than use it, sometime in the middle of the night they might, but rare, during the day forget it.
Sitting in the bathroom, putting them back on pad for 15 to 20 minutes and they will either sit down or lay down in it. Let them out and they will run right to the living/dinning room area and go and not the same place all the time, just wherever when the mood hits them, down and pee.
Poopping is something else we found out that they communicate to one another and we noticed it a couple days ago. Princess Prissy came running into the bedroom and walked up to Sir Bentley and said something to him, he took off on the run and I scopped him up right away and went looking sure enough she had poopped and come told him.
This has been going on with each of them, so in the morning since they won't use the potty pads, we carry one around until the other one goes and then he/she will walk away and not eat it, but if their both on the floor at the same time and you start for it, goodbye it's already gone. So nasty. |
