As for potty training, I'm thinking of getting one of those pads that you put inside the house, but I also want it to be trained to go outside. Any advice for that? W/ past dogs, we just trained them outside. |
You need to decide whether you want him/her to be wee wee pad trained or outside trained....not both...this can be very confusing to the puppy. When we first got Hobbs, someone was always at home to watch him. Because we were able to spend so much time with him, he potty trained quite easily...in 2 weeks. But now, both my husband and I are both having to go to work all day everyday. It has been hard for Hobbs to adjust to us being gone all day since he is used to someone being at home with him all the time, although we do come home at lunch and let him outside to potty.
Because we feel that Hobbs is lonely, we have decided to get him a playmate to keep him company during the day. We are getting a little female named Hootie in July, which is actually Hobbs' sister from a subsequent litter. I have often heard that if you are gone all day at work that it really helps to have more than one yorkie (or at least that is what I have convinced my husband of
).
GOOD LUCK with your new little one! They are the best little companions. I would really watch him/her around your big dogs, though. At least until they get really used to each other.
