 How long can a yorkie "hold it"
Both my girls are potty trained, one is 1 yr and one is 9 months. But, I am retired and could take them outside from the beginning, which I did 24/7 for a week or so. I never used a pee pee pad and am glad, however can see how it would be needed esp for those that work. My yorkie book says not to be surprised when a puppy can hold it all night but not during the day, it is normal. Also, I heard that if you take their age and add an hour, that is how long one can go without pottying. I used this rule of thumb when they were small, so at 3 months, I would try to be home within 4 hours to let them out. I also read an interesting story about someone who trained their dog to use a liter box. So, it's probably an individual as our dogs. |
