I'm thankful that I found this site. At least it seems like you guys are really understanding. I have a 2-yr-old male Yorkie named Max. I haven't had very good luck in house breaking him. He will do really good for awhile and then will start hiking his leg where ever he wants. I've tried everything I know I even hired a trainer to help just to get him to go on the puppy pads. I've bought books, crates, gates, I'm about to lose my mind. Also, I have been really sick and found out I have hashimoto's thyroiditius and some other problems. I'm so drained and fatigued and I don't have anyone to help me with him. I love him but I can't keep all of this extra work up and I don't know if I should try to find him a good home or not. I feel guilty even thinking that - I've had dogs all of my life and I have never had a problem house training until him. I'm not getting any younger and I'm not able to mop everyday. I've been crating him a lot more lately and I feel guilty about that too but I don't know what else to do. If it rains he refuses to go out. So I thought I would stick with the puppy pads. Anyway, it feels good just feel like I can at least vent. Thanks for being here.
