I'm going to try all the suggestions I find here (thnx!!) & be a patient mommy. Belle (maybe the bell will work) is the 5th Yorkie I've had & the first time I've only had one - the other 4 were in pairs. I find that each dog has their own little personality & quirks (none have come from puppy mills). However, more confusing than housebreaking a Yorkie: navigating this site!  but I am patient  . Can anyone tell me what the book Housebreaking In 7 Days by Shirley Somebody is based on? |
Hello to Bella!! Just a quick thought, even when we clean an area in our home, dogs have such sensitive noses, they can still smell the remaining urine. For the Piddle Place, we use a Enzymatic that also contains a Deo Essence. This totally eliminates the smell, breaks down the protein, so the dog will not be tempted to keep returning to a area where you don't want them to go. Have you tried this? We want Bella to be comfortable, but trained as you would have her. I am happy to send you a packet of this if you need one. I assume Bella in now living in the same home where your other Yorkie has lived?
