Potty Training Help! Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me. I have a 4 year old yorkie who has been litter trained. He goes potty in a closet on a potty pad and has been doing it since we bought him as a puppy. He has accidents some times in the house when we are not home and when people are in the room where he goes, he wont go in there. We bought him a friend about a month ago and as soon as he is finished with his shots we want to train them both to go potty outside. We are going to make a small gated area outside our back door so we can watch them and so they they dont wander! I think what I am going to do is put a pad outside in the beginning so they both know that is what they need to do out there. Also at the door to maybe bring them TO the door if they need to go. My question is if anyone has any advice on if this is a good idea or what a good way to start would be. Sorry that was so long!!! :D |
Sounds like you're off to a great start! We went from potty pads to outside as well so I'll try to help. We started off by going out first thing in the morning, last night before bed, and every 2 hours in between. Now that they're trained we go out every 4 (sometimes 5) hours. I would take them out, wait until they pottied, and praise and treat. It helps to find something they REALLY like. This encourages them. :) We used cheese and the only time they got cheese was when they pottied. Once they got the hang of it, we went out every 3 hours and now every 4. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions! |
