I am so sorry you are having such trouble training. I have heard that Yorkies are, at times, very hard to train. However, I did not have a problem. It takes patience and very hard work. I did crate train, my first time in doing it and had great results. I know nothing about pad training. My dogs are trained to go outside only! First, I would monitor the water intake. Take your pup out first thing in the am. Same time every day. Feed him and give water. Play with your pup for awhile and return to create. Take out again about 45 mins later. Make a schedule. It must be the same time every day. When he goes give a reward. I used a tiny piece of liverwurst, recommened by trainer, and used it ONLY for outdoor potty. Return to create. No water in crate. I went home at lunch time to walk him and give water then back to crate until I came home at 5:30. I took him out immediately and then feed him and out again. Left him run around at night for awhile and back in crate then out again and lights our until morning. Out immediately. He was trained at 5mos. He has an iron clad bladder and can hold it for up to 9hrs. After being trained I trained him to have full run of the house. It also took time and many corners of rugs later but now it is great. You need lots of patience and endurance! Good luck. |
