Hello and welcome. I'm so glad you are enjoying your new puppy. Pet store owners do not like to talk about the stock they are selling. They take those poor puppies away from their mom's way too early and ship them all over the country. Pet store owners know that what they are doing is wrong but it brings in the money. Please watch your little guy for problems as he grows. If the puppy survives being taken from it's mom too soon they can still have genetic issues that show up later on. I hope you got one of the healthy ones. If you keep reading on YT you will see the issues that are happening in the Yorkie breed because of puppy mills and backyard breeders.
House breaking is a matter of your timing for now as the pup can't really stop himself from peeing right now. That means lots of trips outside for everyone! He will get the idea after a while. Do you take him right back inside and give him a treat as soon as he does his business? That will help him to keep in mind why you are taking him out there. Sometimes they think they are out there to play.
Hope things continue to go well with you and the little guy. |
