| I need advice please Hello everyone.. I need input, ideas, opinions or anything you want to add to help me with what I would like to do. I have 2 yorkies, Bella almost 1yr and Coco 9 months. Both are doing well with potty pads. When they are not with me running around the house they are in an ex pen together with their water, beds and potty pad. As I was picking up their messes when I got home from work this evening it dawned on me that I don't think I want to pee picking this stuff up like this for 17yrs. I mean if I have to of course I will but there has got to be a better way. Sooooo what I would like to do if possible is train them to hold it (they have no idea thats an option at this point) and have them go outside the majority of the time and on the pee pad when i'm not here. I have no clue how to go about this??? help??

| That is what I'd like Ellie to do but she thinks the floor is just fine. She goes outside sometimes but when I am gone she goes on the floor or occasionally a pee pad. I think letting them do both is too confusing unless they use the pee pads the majority of the time but know it is okay to go on the grass... I think I would do one or the other. I also wouldn't expect a Yorkie to hold it for more than 2-4 hours.

| [F][/FONT] I would try crate training. Start out for about a hour or two, then slowly increase time in crate. Works for me... Hope this helps. |

| The crate traning is the only way. Just put them in there own crate evreyday before work. Take them out and let them go outside the rest of the night till bed time. |
