Potty training, now that's my specialty, lol,. I constantly hear stories of how hard yorkies are to potty train, WHAT ? I just don't get it. I have had yorkies most of my life & never have I had a problem potty training them or any other dog that has been through my door & there have been many, many dogs/puppies as I rescue anything that needs a home & many that don't. Persistence is the key AND I tell them go potty/poop WHILE they are IN the act of going potty/poop & after they finish they get a good boy/girl that was a good potty/poop & we go straight in the house for a treat. I think sometimes people don't take them out often enough and/or don't have a good routine. You can't just bring a new puppy or adult dog into your home & let them have free run of the place & expect them to not pee/poop somewhere weather it be accidental or not, they need to learn the house rules & that potty ONLY goes on outside unless you plan to peepad train then that's they ONLY indoor place you potty. Dogs/puppies are not dumb & they learn fast but they are like toddlers in that if you let them get away with it once then shame on you because they WILL try to push the limits, exactly like a toddler. |
