This has got to be a really hard decision to make, but I wonder what your hubby is willing to do so you can keep him...Please do not think I am being critical of him but I am being as honest as I would be if y'all were standing right here in front of me discussing this. Your baby needs to be confined to an area where there is NO carpet and where his access to the rest of the house is limited...Hubby will have to help in this training. If your "baby" is a climber, then you will need a LARGE crate. If he will stay in an Xpen in the kitchen, that would be a solution to your problem. It sounds as if a doggy door is not an option but I don't suggest them anyway....these little Yorks get into trouble when they can get outside-stolen, hurt, or lost are but a few. If hubby thinks that he cannot help with the training, then I think the best thing to do would be to re-home him...maybe the hubby too but I really mean the "baby". LOL
Tammy 8333 sounds like a real option. If you decide to re-home him, please know that if he is placed in a great home where he is with a human all day, he will be FINE!! I know, because I have taken older Yorkies several times. I have also re-homed some older ones and they do equally well. BTW, I am 69 and elderly..LOL, and I would think long and hard before placing a youngster in my home....Especially an active, need-to-be-trained Yorkie...
If I have offended you r your hubby, that was ot my intention. I simly want what is best for your baby as you do... |
