| Yorkies are the hardest breed to housebreake. I think yorkies has got to be one of the hardest breed's to break. My brother and his family has shi-tzu and they had her trained in one day with no accidents. She had puppies and everyone of the puppies was trained in one day. It was amazing. Dusty is going on two years and we are still trying to train.

| Yes that is a well known fact about Yorkies. I don't really no why. Buddy did not follow that trait thank heavens. He was completely trained a month after I got him at 14.1/2 wks. |

Therapy Dog Donating Member | No kiding!!! Izzy will go outside to do her business but she does NOT tell me when she has to go..that's our problem...if we don't let her out every two hours....Houston..we have a problem....and we still get accidents between those two hours sometimes..geez louise. She is just 13 months old....so I hope she catches on soon.

| Dusty let's me know when he need's to go outside but he still comes back in and goes potty again. He will go to the back door and tell me but he will also go in my little girls room and go potty. He has a pee pad in his room but god forbid he use it during the day.

| Mine ring a bell to go outside. It was a full time job for months getting them trained, but now that they are it's wonderful. No baby gates, no pens... they sleep in their crates sometimes but don't have to. I have bells on my website if you need some

| Yes they are... Even after years and years of research, that is something I did not learn til' after I got my pup... Not like it would have changed my mind about her, because Ive wanted a Yorkie for over 10 yrs... So, its worth it for me Every pup is different...

| I agree, Bandit my pommie learnt in a couple of weeks at a tiny age of 3,5 months. Scooby bless his littel heart never learned, he will do it out when we took him, but he had accidents like every 30 minutes at 7 months old he was a yorkie full blood. Bijou is doing ok so far, but still has some accidents like excitement peeing like just now. I left him alone for 4 hours out of his crate and NO pee until I showed up, he jumped out of excitement and weed himself bandit didnt pee he waited until he was taken out. Some dogs learn some dont. Persistence and consistency is the key I guess. |

| I think the training plays a major roll in housetraining. It seems that quite a few people just don't know how, or they are not consistant and persistant enough as well. Also some Yorkies take a little longer than others, but I really don't think it's just the breed. |

I had my husband check the site and it seems to be working fine. They are large images though maybe they take a long time to load. You can see them at their website too: http://www.tellbell.com/

| I guess it just depends on the dog itself. I have a Bichon and she was trained in a couple months, and rings a bell to go out. I sure hope my new Yorkie is a easy one. I've always taught my dogs to go outside, I've never used piddle pads so this will be interesting to see how it goes. I never leave my pups out of my sight when they are running loose, and when I can't keep 2 eyes on them at all times, then they go into the crate. |
