Hi, i'm new yorkie owner and was having similar problems. My puppy doesn't bite furniture and he's only 3.5 months old, but he would immediately tear up his pee pad as well as any paper that he came accross, and always looked for ways to escape his ex pen until one day he figured out that he could jump out of it...
Of course, the first thing I did was buy him a taller ex pen...but as far as the peed pad, my husband started completely taping it to the floor with some packing tape. That way they don't have access to the edge of it.
also, have you been training him basic commands (sit, stay, down, etc.). I noticed that my puppy became a lot less destructive and much more calm throughout the day after I started training him. I train him in the morning and in the afternoon for about 15 minutes. then i play fetch with him for 20 minutes. By the time I leave for work he is very tired and sleeps from 8am until 3pm, which is about the time that the dog sitter comes visit him. |
