I adopted my female yorkie at eleven weeks. She had a few accidents for the first few days. I established a routine she seemed to respond to quickly and happily.
Morning: take the puppy to the pee pad. Gently verbally encourage by saying "go pee, (enter name)" and rub the genitals. If they don't go, do be upset, just feed them and repeat this process prior and/or post feeding depending on what pattern emerges.
Bedtime: encourage a drink of water before bed. Then take your dog to the pee pad again.
Hope this helps. My Stella is very good about using her pads now at 14 weeks. |
