I have said it before in other threads, but I think it was a great tip, so I'll share it again! My vet had me try moving the potty pads to a more private spot after I complained that Bailey wouldn't always go on the pad. Especially to poop! She said they like privacy, so I moved my pads around and voila! He was 100%!!!
BUT!!! Fair warning... I have a male, and his teeth are coming in behind his baby teeth (common for yorkies), so my vet wants to wait till they're all in so we can nueter and pull teeth at the same time. (anesthetics are risky on tiny dogs, so I've done some research and they say it's better to do it in one shot rather than having them be put under twice!) But, in turn, he's reached his sexual maturity, and has begun to lift his leg in the house!
So he's going a little bit backwards in our potty training lately! So if you plan to nueter, do it before he starts lifting his leg to pee. I think 5 & 1/2 months is the earliest you can do it though!
Anyone dealt with the leg lifting and have any tips?!?! I'll take any advise I can get on this one! He's also gotten a little territorial lately! Will that subside a bit once he's nuetered? He's a testosterone machine right now!!!
Thanks, Kelley
