To my friends in the Yorkie owner community I need some positive feedback on my current situation. I recently purchased a two-year-old purebred silky Yorkshire terrier named Gretel. The previous owners told me that she was pad trained and an inside dog because of her size. She is only 3 pounds so she does not go outside. Needless to say She only hits the pad approximately half the time. I am hoping that someone out there can give me tips and tricks for pee pad training and also positive feedback on whether she can even be trained at this age. I currently have her confined to a small pan with a bed and her food and then off to the side of the pen I have a playpen type structure with pee pads set up for easy access. She pees and poops about 50 to 60% of the time on the pads the other times she pees and poops on the carpet right outside of the pad area. What am I doing wrong?
