Getting neutered actually seemed to help. Or maybe its coincidental that he has started to settle in and feel more safe here. We have never had a rescue before. Always puppies, and trained them ourselves, so not sure what to expect with bringing in an older dog. He's two and we've only had him a week. We also have two other dogs - an eight year old male toy poodle and a 2 year old female toy poodle. Anyway, Saturday seemed to be a turning point for him. He hasn't had an accident or marked in the house since around noon Saturday (which was day 5 here for him, and one day after neutering) and he is starting to show us his personality and become more playful with our other dogs.
I am sure there will be other issues that come up with him, so I am glad to have a place to come for advice. I am pretty anal about caring for my dogs, and they are pampered and spoiled family members. This little guy has been mostly kept outside, ate crap food, never been groomed, no vet care and basically raised himself. We don't even know if he's a full yorkie. He looks like a yorkie, but is around 12 pounds and has cute floppy ears.
Its hard work teaching him to be a gentleman!
Thank you again.
