Crate or pen training is theonly solution in my opinion. When I place a puppy in its forever home, I request (strongly urge) the new owner to take their vacation time to work with the dog the first week. Your Yorkie is busy training y'all and you hafta take back the alpha role. I LOVE the X-pens and move mine all over the place. I put plastic table clothson the floor/carpet under the pen and turn the sections of the pen back til there are 6 sections instead of 8. That is for sleeping. Then, I open it up all the way for daytime confinement.
Rarely do I sell to peole who have to work long hours and do not have a sitter to come in during the day. Please don't think I am critical of working moms-I was one for all of my life- but Yorkies are so social and they need people stimulation during the day. Maybe you can work out your problems during the summer....Good Luck, it will not be easy.. |
