I put a pee pad on one end and food, water, bed, etc on the other end. He went on the pad 100% of the tiem when he was in there because he wouldn't pee where he sleeps/eats.
I'm glad you found Yorkie Talk. There are a lot of great people here who can be very humorous and love to give advice. I hope you stick around. |
Thanks sooo much for the encouraging words. I've only had him for about 5 days and I've already shedded a few tears because I'm afraid I'm not doing a good job as a new Yorkie mom! I do have a couple of questions: Do you still have his potty location inside the large crate or did you switch the location once he learned to go on the pads? If so, does Stewie know to go into the crate's open door to use the pee pad when you're home and he's free in the house? What do you do at night?
Thanks for the help. I DEFINITELY plan on sticking around...it's addictive, lol. Everyone's so kind and eager to help. I couldn't be happier to have found this site!!
