| Housebreaking a 6 year old. We have two darling, lovable Yorkies, both girls. Molly is about 6 years old. We kind of rescued her. She is a great dog, and is housebroken. She just wants to make everyone happy. Katie is our 4 year old. I guess I am the problem because I haven't trained her well. She piddles and poops where and when she wants to in the house! We have all tile floors, partly because of her. We travel in our travel trailer, and neither dogs ever goes in the trailer. Is it too late to train Katie? I am about to buy baby diapers to put on her. She weighs 6 lbs. Thanks for any suggestions. Pat |

| No, its not too late. Are you home during the day to commit to full time training? If so, then it should happen even faster. Yorkies are VERY smart I suggest going to the petstore and buy a really yummy treat - I prefer Wellness Pure Rewards, they are soft and jerky like with a strong smell (I cut them in half to get more from the deal). Anyway, use these treat as GOOD POTTY BEHAVIOR and ONLY for that If you want to train her outside, take her out every 1/2 hr to start, bring the treats and when she goes, tell her "go potty" and when she is done, praise her and give her a yummy treat. Trust me, this works |

| Thanks for the reply! I will buy the special treats today and plan on spending a lot of time in the yard. She does like her treats. |
