Thank You guys for all the wonderful support, the trainer came on Wednesday and he basically developed a schedule for us to be able to pinpoint when she has to go potty. Gia now eats three times a day rather than leaving her food out all day (8:30 -8:20, 12:30-1:00, 5:30-6:00) with this schedule we can now know within about an hour after she eats she going to have to go so now we know o take her to her potty area. At night we put her to sleep at 10 so her last potty time is at 9:30 we put her in her potty area for 30 minutes just so she has the opportunity to go before the night. Once we put her in her crate she usually sleeps during the night and wakes up around 7am to use the potty. things are going better but Ms.Gia is still stubborn she'll hold it while we have her in her potty area and then will wait until we take her out because she doesn't want to go but then soon as she's out then will go on the carpet. She pooped on my mom's bed again this morning I guess I took her out of her potty area too soon. Hopefully we'll see changes soon. I know I'm expecting a lot of her, but I think Gia kind of knows where she's supposed to go she just doesn't want to go there. the trainer explained to me that yorkies are very stubborn and sometimes you have to show them who's the boss (not by hitting or yelling) but by constant reassurance,disiciple, and crate training. He said when she goes potty in the wrong place to put her in her carte for about 5 minutes while I clean up the mess & talk to her tell her where she's supposed to go & not sound happy (but don't yell). What do you guys think? Was he worth the 60 bucks? |
