Potty training, my experience with now 4 passed yorkies that I raised from 8 week old pups, they were 100% pad trained by 5 months old, at 7 months old they were 100% house broken. I have had poodles and mini Schnauzers, house breaking yorkies I found no diff. then the two other breeds.
Dogs prefer to potty out doors. Consistency is the key word for house breaking any dog. If fed twice a day, they must be fed every day the same time in the morning and evening, you cannot deviate from feeding time. Every dog is diff. as to after eating how soon they will have to go out, my dog needs to go out 10 minutes after he eats, some dogs 20 minutes some 30 minutes, so this will be a hit and miss until you figure how long it takes after they eat. If it was me, 15 minutes after eating I would take dog out, if you leash walk , walk for 15 minutes. If you have a yard that you choose to let dog use, I would take dog to the yard supervised by you 15 minutes after they eat, keep baby out side for 15 minutes, they like to sniff everything. This is NOT play time for them so no playing, tell pup what you want them to do, pee-pee or poo-poo what ever word you choose is what you tell them to do, and keep repeating the words. After 15 minutes and they has not pottied bring pup back in the house, wait 15 minutes and start all over again. You need to know your dogs clock, once you do be consistent with out time to potty is a MUST. Feed same time every feeding, walk same times every day after eating Even if pup has made in the house before it was out time, walk or go out ANYWAY,this shows the pup what time out side takes place. If you can walk in the afternoon, again it MUST be the same time every day. Schedule and Consistency is a MUST. You CAN house break any dog. Dogs are creatures of habit, they get used to doing things like walks or outside time they have built in alarm clocks lol. Whenever pup does their business make sure you have treats on you when you take pup out , give a treat and praise like crazy, make a big happy fuss.
