Just some basics ...does he have up to date vaccines? (Dhppv/kennel cough/rabies) obviously he's not neutered lol I would say you are doing the right thing by sending him on a little time out when he does the unsavory act. ;-) it is possible to outside potty train a dog who is pee pad trained. Just may take some time. Same with vice versa. A few hours home alone at first sounds ok....have u noticed any separation anxiety behaviors ( chewing etc) sounds like u r asking all the right questions. I'm sure you will get tons more advice! And no matter how or where you got him...he's with you now! So no worries about being flogged! Winnie is my first yorkie....just a baby. 16 weeks today. And it's definately an experience! Yorkies are great. If he has hair....brush him every day! I just learned this lesson the hard way! I'm bow training winnie but of course she is a girl....I know some trim their boys hair to keep it out of their eyes. It can cause a lot of irritation and goopiness...sometimes infection with the eyes. That's a main reason for doing the top knots. Congrats on your new little guy! |
