 Outside or puppy pads?
Is your yorkie trained to let you know when they need to go out, or to go on a puppy pad? We just got 2 yorkies - a male and a female and they are both puppy pad trained already, and it seems very convenient as I don't have to take them out in these frigid cold temperatures every couple of hours. But I wonder if I should be training them to alert me when they need to go. I'm also not sure when I can put the puppy pads so they're not right out in the open for when we have guests coming over, etc.
Also, the male that we got is 8 years old and he is marking EVERYTHING. I cannot have him out without a diaper on because he lifts his leg every minute or so at something. I asked the previous owner about this and she said that he only did that when the female was in heat. She's not in heat right now though, and he's still doing it. Any suggestions about this? He's a great dog, but I've got to get him to stop doing this or he'll be in diapers forever. |
