unfortunately ... lots of yorkies hate inclement weather and rather not go outside even if they are otherwise trained ... if you are not home there is no correction when he does go inside the house so ... he'll decide that it is more convenient to pee and poo wherever ... you could try to re-train intensively when you have days off work and can 100% supervise ... and attach a playpen to the dog door you can leave him in when he is alone ( we have hooks on the frame of our door we could zip tie a play-yard to ) ... I the area inside is small enough he is more likely to go outside ... if you are still using potty pads ... stop ... potty pads are a blessing and a curse if you want your dog to go outside ... they are primed with pee smell to attract the dogs BUT for some dogs it is very hard to understand to keep the rest of the inside clean when there are pee smelly potty pads all around ... Also take a black light and find all pee spots you might have missed and treat them with enzymatic cleaner ... quite honestly though ... I physically had to take my girl yorkie out in snowstorms or when it rained hard... even though she was potty trained in good weather... if there was standing water on the patio ... she would find a quiet corner if we did not watch her. |
