| house breaking my puppy I too am having serious issues house breaking my Cookie. I have had her about 2 months and we are having problems. Everytime I think we are getting somewhere it back fires. I have 2 other dogs who are house broke and I thought it wouldn't be that difficult to train her. I have her in a crate and have a seperator in it for training purposes but she seems to potty in it anyway. Except at night, we take her out on a regular basis, unless she makes noise at night! I have thought about using the puppy pads but I have a very hyper active 4 year old who I know will not leave them where they belong. I hate to leave the poor baby in the kennel all of the time but that is how I trained my other dogs and it just doesn't seem to be working with her. I just don't think I can bring myself to let her pee and poo in the house. |

| Many people use a play area set aside for their dog. There are lots of brands out there. Some are made of plastic, some of wood, some of metal and some of baby playpen stuff. That would provide more area for your dog and your child would not be able to get to the dog. The thing is, you have to think about how to train your dog still. Maybe someone that has used those x-pens can help you with that if you decide to go that direction. |

| Hello, I have a 13 weeks old Yorkie mix with Maltese. I got him 2 weeks ago. His breeder trained him to poop and pee on newpaper which is fine by me. However I want to start training him to potty outside now. I Bought him a kennel on saturday and started to take him outside but he is not doing anything outside. He comes back in and pee on the news paper. He doesnt really go on the floor which I am happy about even tho I have tiles and I took up all my area rugs. The next issue I am having is that I work long hours (so I have to leave him in the kennel during the day), I leave home at 6:30am (which I started taking him out in the mornings before I leave to go to work) and I will get home by 6:30 pm (which I do the same when I get home) also my husband. Will it take him longer to potty train outside because of my hours? What is the best way to do this? Any suggestions will be appreciated. |

| Hi Hi, my Cookie is a Yorkie Maltese mix too. She is too adorable. My breeder did not even try to train my puppy but didn't tell me this until after I had her. He made it out like she was living in his house. I do not believe that she was. I think that is why I'm having such a hard time getting her trained. Thanks for all of the suggestions by the way. |
