Potty Issue
Posted 05-07-2009 at 05:08 PM by boisvesl
I have a 6 year old yorkie who still potties everywhere. The most recent trainer I contacted told me to put her in diapers and save myself the frustration. Help! I don't know anything about dog diapers. She weighs 8lbs and the dog diaper I bought yesterday fell right off her. Ugh!

 | When I first got my YorkiPoo, I didn't think I would ever get him potty trained, until I realized I was giving him too much space to roam. I really believe he was losing track of him puppy pad. So I confined him to a smaller space with puppy pad in sight, and realized he did just fine. Didn't have any more problems with it. Bye now, Elbertsdog and "Rusty" |

| |  potty issuesI agree. I am in the process of paper training a 12 week old yorkie male. I have found that if I give him too much space he can't seem to remember where he is suppose to go. But if I keep in one room, until he has relieved himself there is no problem with him finding and using the wee wee pad. I adopted my last yorkie (who lived with me for 13yrs) when he was six months old and he was still not housebroken. I tried to make a really big deal everytime he used the wee wee pad...praising him, giving him a special treat and just some happy puppy partying in general. When he made a mistake I told him "bad" in a stern voice, but did not punish him in any other way. He was paper trained in one week. Dogs love to celebrate  Hope this helps Angus' mommy, Jeanne D |

| | i have the same problemi also have a 6 month old yorkie that knows how and when to use the puppy pad.. but sometimes it seems like when she is playing that she forgets to go to the potty pad and she just uses the bathroom on the couch or whereever she is. i dont know what to do about it because she knows that she gets in trouble for it. |
