I can sympathize with you as I am still working on potty training my 6mo old Yorkie. I got her about a month ago. I can tell you that I really never let her out of her ex-pen without watching her closely for signs she might need to go to the bathroom. If she is sniffing a lot, I will put her in her pen until she goes to the bathroom, then I will take her out again. She has a pad in the ex-pen which she will use if she is in there. I try to give her free time immediately after she has used her pad or gone outside, to prevent accidents. She still has accidents (of course, in the one second I happen to look away), but that mostly happens when she has not immediately gone potty before playtime. I do not let her sleep in my bed, would not trust her for that yet.
As we are still working on this, I'm sorry I don't have better advice. However, you might think about crating her while she is in your bed. That way, she would hopefully whine before an accident occurred, and you could take her out.
I'd be interested to hear other opinions on this topic, too. Good luck! |
