My Yorkie is about 4 years old. I have never been able to fully housebreak her. I can take her outside and an hour later she will still go in the house. I keep my back door open half the time and she still will go in the living room where the door is wide open and go in there. I leave her out all day long when I am at work (just come home at lunch to let her out) and I do not believe she goes anywhere (I have wood floors). As soon as I get home though, even though I let her out immediately, she still comes and goes in the house several times. It isn't a matter of her not knowing, she just refuses to go outside unless I walk her out there and even then she goes multiple times. She also tends to go more on carpet, like the rug in my living room or sneaks off to my bedroom,
She is my second Yorkie. The first I never had a day of trouble with, but I was able to crate train her. I was never able to do crate train this one because of severe anxiety issues when placed in a crate.
Other than tying her to me (which honestly is not realistic), any ideas on how to break her? I am going to try and start putting a dog gate back up again, which may help some.
I am at the point where I am thinking she is to the age I will never be able to break her.
