[B][SIZE=2]How old is your baby that you leave alone for 9 hours? I surely hope they are NOT puppies. That is no way to train, bond and socialize a baby. I have been asked on dozens of occasions about how to house-train a Yorkie and my first suggestion is "Take time off work to be with them!" Sure they sleep, but they get no praise for good behavior or stimulation if no one is around when they are awake..I know we have to work, but, 9 hours away from them can make them needy unless the situation is gradually introduced. Maybe, a neighbor or friend could visit or a dog nanny could check on the babe at least once during those 9 hours..If I sound harsh, well, those are my opinions after several years of breeding and raising these babies.. |
