I was lucky to get him from a family who really socialized the pups and worked on some potty training before we got him. He was going on pee pads and outside - we are working toward outside only now that we have him. Consistancy is the key and taking him out ALOT and much praise. (and a small treat) Yorkies are very smart - this is the first one for me, I also have a male Cairn Terrier and have had Westies in the past. It's important to have him go outside because I don't want potty wars between the Cairn and the Yorkie in the house. Also - I'm glad we waited till Mickey was at least 11 weeks before bringing him home - age makes a big difference, I think. |
