This seems to be a common problem as I have read...

I have 2 yorkies and my 2 year old (Asia) does great. She uses a litter box and goes outside. My problem is with my 15 month old male, Bristol. They stay in a 10 by 10 tiled room together during the day, and when I get home he has gone potty several times! I finally got a belly band which he soils every day (all day long). He sleeps through the night about 5 out of 7 days a week so I know he can hold it. What can I do??? Asia learned how to hold it all day, but Bristol wont do it! I even got him back from the vet and they said he had several accidents in his crate!

Is it true that some of the smaller yorkies never get out of their "puppy brain". I heard that from a friend who has a 3 lb like Bristol.

I have tried everything from crate training to limiting water and puppy diapers! I know I probably didnt crate train long enough, but with two dogs its tough. I don't want to leave Bristol in a crate to bark all day b/c Asia isnt in one! And am I doing harm by having a belly band (b/c he isnt aware he is going)?

HELP!!! Your suggestions are appreciated!
