Please Help!!! This is my first attempt at using a site like this. I am desperate. I have 2 female Yorkies. The will be 2 on December 28th. As of yet, I have not been successful at potty training them. We have been using a litter box that is located in our garage off of the laundry room. They should go out there to use the facilities. There are more accidents than successes. I just had double knee replacement surgery and cannot keep up with these little ones. They seem to make no attempt to try to hold it. During the day, when I was still able to work, before my medical leave, they have been in crates. I thought this was mean, however, everyone assures me this is ok. I deliberately bought 2 puppies so that they would keep each other company during my absence. I am heartbroken to say, that I am now at the point of bring them to a shelter. They have totally worn me out. I would praise their successful potty efforts my actually jumping and clapping (when I was able to jump that is). Now I am very limited. The have no problem with eliminating in their own crate. Nothing seems to work. I can't tell you how truly heartbreaking this is for me. I am typing between my teardrops, so I hope that this is readable. PLEASE, can anyone suggest what I can do to get them potty trained at this late time? I would even send them to a dog training school and leave them there for training. I don't know where to go. I have spent the last 4 months crying at the thought of getting rid of them. I don't want to do that, nor do I want them separated as they are sisters and have been together since birth. My son, 29 has made it clear to me that he will never speak to me again if I get rid of them. He has tried in vane to help with the house breaking too. He adores Mandy and Hailey. But I am now warn. I love them too, but the constant washing of blankets, cleaning of accidents, only to turn around and find after cleaning one mess, that the other just did the same. PLEASE HELP. I am so upset. I love them both, and fear losing them and my son. Thanks to any one who can help me with this sad dilemma. Kind regards, Princess Patte
