Congrats on your new puppy. Here is what I might try, as soon as she wakes from a nap , take her outside, sit with her so she is not afraid you are going to leave her alone. Say things like" go potty" "good girl". At this point, you know she has to relieve herself something awful. I encourage you to wait her out. She will go outside, and the moment she does, say go potty and give her a treat. She will associate "go potty" with the act. At this age, she probably had to go quite a few times a day, so be patient and work with her. You might need an indoor option such as puppy pads for initial training, but your Yorkie is a smart breed, you just need to make her feel safe, and show her what is expected. By this time next week, I know you willl have good news for us. |
