If she did not potty or pee I put her back in the crate for 5 minutes and try again. Eventually she knows, door open, outside ...potty/pee time. I think the crate training also help her to learn how to hold. I crate her 1-2 hours , follow by potty or pee time outside and play inside. I did not even use pee pad or xpen. I did this "religiously" and very consistent. I also would not let her play outdoor even if she pees or potty. After pees or potty outside I took her back immediately. If I can't watch her inside the house I put her back in the crate. Eventually I add the playtime and reduce the crate time. She is now 6 months and have the entire house to play. She sleeps in her bed at night and can hold for almost 9 hours at night.
BTW if she had an accident indoor, I took the potty and put it outside where I want her to pee or potty. Let her see and sniff. I hope this help. There are many methods but this one works for me. |
Thanks alot for your advice. This Yorkie thing is so new to me. So when I'm not home during the day should I put Chico in the kennel because I have let him stay in his small play area because he doesn't like going in the kennel and I feel bad forcing him? But I noticed the other day which was first time I left home and put him in the kennel he went potty as soon as I came back and opened its door but I only did this once which was the other day. So maybe that will help to train him to go at a certain time. Also should I put him in the kennel when I go to bed? I just haven't been too consistent on anything accept not feeding him during the day so he won't potty while I'm gone. But I have only had him 7 days now and he's 14wks. The breeder said he was house trained for puppy pads but he never goes on them while I'm around. What do you think??????????????????? I'm in need of pup help
