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. |
Dear Piddle place, thank you so much for responding to my message! I'm VERY HAPPY to share the following "Good Potty" report...After sending along my post, Yoni, for lack of a 'better' word, as of yet ;D pooped outside, twice!! and peed three times!!! This morning, just after my waking @4am, Yoni slept through the night! Our last Yorkie, rest her soul, had a terrible time the first night, but Yoni, I/we couldn't be happier, she slept BEAUTIFULLY!! So nice being connected to YorkieTalk.com again, this place was such a HUGE help to me and my family when we suffered the loss of our Suzy 12/27/06. Thanks again, Piddle Place, I continue to hope and pray that the 'Potty training process' will continue to be as successful as we're seeing/learning Yoni's 'potty' cues Sincerely, Yoni's human Mommy and family
