She does go outside about 80% of the time, but she still has at least one "accident" a few times a week and I will take her outside, coax her to go potty, and she will not relieve herself. After several frustrating minutes, I bring her back in knowing that she will purposely pee on the carpet upstairs of our new home. This is so frustrating. I think we have spoiled her too much - she sleeps in our bed and wouldn't accept me crating her at this point. Is it too late to go back to the basics?  |
We also got our puppy in March (age, 10 weeks) and she is doing exactly as yours… we've found that it really helps to just take her out every two hours to avoid accidents. Also, it helps to remember that Yorkies' bladders develop very slowly and are very tiny; it takes a really long time for them to develop complete control.
