I'll try to be more calm. those sleepless night are turning me into a monster. I'm just confuse why she is getting worse. She was progressing really well in week 2-3 with me. Although with a couple of accidents here and there, she knows where to go. She's becoming a handful to handle since last week and the week before. Is there a certain stage they will be more rebelious?
As for the potty train, how should I do it? She won't poo when I'm watching. In the past, the moment I catch her squatting down, I will distract her and guide her to the right spot and it works. Now, she won't do it when I'm watching.
I suspect she hold on to it until I'm not watching to poo. I don't know how to encourage her to poo in front of me... |
I'll tell you my story with our first Yorkie. My husband & I were team truck driving at the time & we were faced with a puppy who wouldn't use a pee pad. Those two issues were
our responsibilities to figure out a solution to. We made sure that when he ate about 45 minutes to an hour later we stopped the truck. We'd walk him & normally when he got a bit of exercise from the walk he'd poo. We'd make a BIG deal out of it so that he knew were pleased he'd "gone potty". As far as allowing him the time to pee, we'd stop about every 2-3 hours & tell him to "go pee". Again, we practically threw a party and he knew he'd done good. Yorkies live to please, they really do.
