For the first day and night she did wonderfully, she sought and the pads and used them to do her business. Now all of a sudden she just completely ignores them and poops and pees whereever she wants to on the carpet. I'd say of the last 7 times she's used the restroom in the past 24 hours, only 2 times have been on a pee pad. She slept for like 8 hours in our bed last night with no problems and spends most of her time on the couch with no accidents on there. Any ideas on how to retrain a yorkie? Also, do you think it's ok to let her on the couch and bed? I kind of think she might realize these are no-no zones simply because they're where she likes rest. Thank you so much for any insight you can give me! |
First off congrats on Goonie...lol. These little stinkers like to be funny. I would suggest that you give the carpet a good cleaning and maybe confine her to areas that are easier to clean up. The carpet has the pee way down in the sponge under is my guess and she smells it. Get an enzyme cleaner and clean that. Being on the couch or bed is totally a preference thing. I guess she doesn't piddle there because she wants to be on there (they normally won't foul their sleeping area). You probably need to restart her house breaking from scratch and either use a kennel or xpen to work with her so she knows her boundaries for potty. Also try to watch her signs for going potty.
Good luck. Hope some of this helps.
By the way welcome to YT to you and Goonie both. Looking forward to seeing a pic of her.
