I have two yorkies... One almost 4 and another 18 weeks.
My 18 week was previously put in the bathroom while I was at work with a baby gate so he didn't chew and use the bathroom all in my house. The past week we've had major problems.
Scenario: I am a teacher who works two hours away and am gone 12-13 hours a day. Even if I wasn't, I know they can't hold it all day. He was supplied with puppy pads and doing great. He's gotten too big to be put in a crate all day. He has started pooing right by the gate and then proceeding to jump, walk, lay in it all day because he wants out. I come home and have to bathe him daily, clean my room, and desmell my house because all that trampling has just made it thoroughly gross. This takes upwards of an hour to do and I am fed up. I moved him to the kitchen thinking he had a better view, but same thing. I had to throw away the baby gate because it was so gross. If I put both of them in the room same thing happens. I'm nervous about leaving him out all day with my older one because we do have carpet and he will pee everywhere. With this said, I am out of ideas. I have a large play pen but I know he will do the same thing there too. Ideas? |
I had the same issue with my baby yorkie (She is now 33 weeks old), BUT i did have her in a medium size create, I would let her out in the morning and put her back in till I got off work . so i was able to fit half the peepee pad and a blanket on the other half and yes she still stepped all over the poo and got it all over the create and I had to wash her and the blanket and the create every single day , and I too was getting discouraged , BUT one day i came home and she was not doing it any more after a certain age they all of a sudden know they should not do that , So please be patient your yorkie will grow out of it. So I really have no advice on HOW to stop it but this is more to let you know that HE WILL STOP when he realizes its not ok to step on it..
BTW ....
my yorkie was about 20 weeks or so when she did not do that anymore
