| Potty Training Rescued Yorkie....Any suggestions ?? Someone dropped off a beautiful 4 month old yorkie at my vet last thursday. Being the Yorkie lover that I am, they called me and I took him with open arms. He is an absolute doll. He is precious, sweet, groomed, healthy, gorgeous and a typical little boy yorkie. I have no problem potty training my yorkies, and I have only had this guy a short time.....BUT I cant get him to potty outside! I obviously dont know what this little guy has been through, the vet thinks he was stuffed in a kennel 24/7. He also said there is still hope because he is still a baby. Can someone give me any good ides on how to help transition this baby? I have put newspaper inside, I walk him constantly. He is crated at bed time, a few hours in the late morning and a couple hours in the afternoon. I am with him all other times. Please help.... |

| How wonderful of you to take in this baby Just be patient, consistant and keep trying. Sometimes they are just slower to learn when they have been in a small space with their own waste.

| He may still be adjusting, especially if he's been in a cage 24/7. He has this new freedom and is probably unsure of himself. He's young and I believe too that their is hope. Be consistent with training and praise. So wonderful of you to take him in!

| Thanks you guys! Thanks so much for the encouragement. He has gotten a little better and he has only been here a week today. He is such a little beauty too! Gained a pound too, he was starving! He pottys outside EVERY day now, with a few accidents but he is a baby! I love him so much already!!
