| QUESTION: When ur yorkie is preggers..... When your yorkie is pregnant, does she seem to have more 'accidents' than usual? Lily has been pooping on the carpet/throw rug when usually she was really good about using her pad or going outside. Or is she just being lazy????? I get so mad at her, but I don't want to spank her since she's carrying puppies, so I just tell her 'No' sternly, but she keeps doing it every single day for the last week or so!!! grrr

Well the question was about poopin' on the floor. No reason to bring up subjects that are unnecessary imo. Mind yer own bizness!

| People on YT have strong feelings about "tapping" or "spanking" any dogs ever. Most of us do not agree with it ever. Positive reinforcement goes along way.

And yes, we all do have very strong feelings about spanking and/or "tapping" as a training method. Positive reinforcment is something that you may wish to consider and you can find a lot of information about that here on YT. | |

| thanks so much for everyone's input on the topic of spanking and whenever i need help on that topic, i'll be sure to post a thread about it. Everyone is entitled to their feelings, but everyone is entitled to discipline the way they want to. This thread is only about pooping on the floor when pregnant, so can we at least keep to the subject at hand?

| i had a huge lab, and i had only ever spanked her once. She was 2 years old and had grabbed a squirrel in our backyard and she thought i was playing with her when i yelled and ran after her so i caught up with her and spanked her on the behind.. she dropped the squirrel and thank god it was fine, she was fine, i didnt spank her hard, just to get her to turn around and acknowledge me. and this was a HUGEE LAB that stopped and noticed, so imagine the effect on a lil yorkie |
