I have been told that Yorkies can be hard to train. I am glad I found that out after I got Buddy. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. He has been trained since he was 5months old. He can hold it the 9 hrs I am gone! I chase him around the house to get his harness on when I get home and he still holds it.
I think his bladder is made of iron. How lucky am I? He was the first crate trained dog I ever owned. I think that was the key. Crate training. It broke my heart to see him in there but my vet said it was only for alittle bit and it would be worth it. I went home on my lunch hours for 8 weeks. It was hard but worth it in the end. I live 13mi from work and cross a major bridge to and from work. Now that it is over it was worth it. Good luck. It does take patience and time. What you put into it you get out of it. HE has full run of my condo and just sleeps all day. |
