This is what actually worked when Suzi was a puppy . She did the exact same thing . Than we started placing the poo, w/o touching it/yuck on the pad... Suzi really caught on fast where to poop:) YAY! It did not take long at all for her to poo on her pads after the poo was there ! I guess Yorkies are visual learners! It worked like a charm. Try it a few times, and see if it works for your pups. Also, it is important to have more then one pee pad down. Place it where your puppy is going most of the time . :thumbup:

My Yorkie is almost a year old and will not poop on his pee pad. He pees on it all the time. I have given up. He will poop outside but will not tell me when he needs to go out, just if I catch him at the right time. I have pretty much given up hope of him ever being totally trained. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I also tried the two pee pads but he just pees on both.

i can't take to poop and place it on a pad cuz she just wants to eat the poop :eek:

The same thing happened to me and it still does sometimes.

He sleeps on my bed at night which is relatively high up so he can't get off. So when he wakes up he definitely has to pee and usually poop too. I found that this was the best time to train them to go to the right place. Right when I wake up I put him in a little pen with just a pee pad. He goes pee right away, then whines abit, and eventually will go poop Now, during the day he will most of the time go to the pee pad to poop. He still has several accidents (mostly under tables too!), but its getting better.

Good luck! :)

Thanks for all the great advice! Soon we may have to leave her home for almost 8 hours, but only 3 nights a week, and we'll be home with her the rest of the week. I'd really like her to be able to run free during that time, but I don't know how we'll be able to if she keeps having accidents, plus she's been getting into everything lately! Any suggestions?

This is my first post on YT. We got our little Yorkie girl, Emma, about 3 weeks ago. She does the SAME EXACT THING! She poops standing on her hindlegs. I purposely searched for this "poop behavior" on YT wondering if this was a normal thing for a Yorkie or what. She even does this when she is outside. She will stand against the side of the house or against the french doors and do it either on the patio or in the grass. My family and I now know the signs...if she is standing on her hindlegs when she is inside, run her outdoors! Very funny and strange!

pooping on the pad
 

I had that problem also, until i took him to my Moms house and I put 3 pads just incase because I sure didn't want him to go on her floor, she is going through Chemo and all smells bother her!..well I noticed every time he always pooped in the hall way away from everyone, I think he just wanted a little more privacy, he will pee right in front of us because he knows he gets a treat. he actually stood on the pad at my moms for a while the other day while staring at my aunt and she thought he peed and then he went to her for a treat and she gave it to him.so now she says he has learned to lie!.lol he tried it a second time but we check now.......LOL
I can't believe how smart they are..................any way now at home I have a pad in the bathroom where he used to sneak off to poop and he goes there all the time now.so you might try that but I don'y think I would want it under the dinning room table.............good luck!

ah thank you thank you thank you
 

I thought we were the only ones :)
we are really new at this.Dolce has been with us for only about 5 days and I was so close to actually showing him how to pee and poop in the same place (I know that sounds sorta strange but I was thinking about it LOL LOL LOL )

So now I get it !

So far we got him to sit and come and he knows what a ball is....if only he would understand 'toilet' !!

we are working on his aim ....keeps missing the paper !!!1

He is only 4 months ...... we should give a break..if only I was as well behaved at 4 months of age lol :)

OYE! Daisy is a real bi&%^, too...I wonder if they are related!?hahaha:p Daisy Does 110% of everything you mentioned above...I dont understand their fascination with pooping under tables or even beds sometimes! Not only does Daisy do all of the above, she does her "poop n waddle" She'll start pooping in one corner and waddle and drop till she's done. I end up with a little nugget trail...I wish she pooped on the wee wee...she's got the potty down...if only we could get the poopy...and I agree poop is easier to pick up and less detrimental to carpets than urine is.

Hello :) I'm just curious -why do people use the peepee pads instead of taking them outside? Are they supposed to be easier to train with or is it because of cold tempatures? I'm just wondering ;)

wellin my case.my little guy was1 lb at 12 weeks and the grass was too high for him and it was so cold in feburary for the tiny little thing.........
now he is so good about it, he dosen't have any accidents any more so I'm getting ready to make the transfer to out doors he just turned 6 months and is a whopping 3 lbs.lol

I have the same problem with Harley. I also put 2 pads down and he still goes under the dining room table to poop. It drives me crazy.

My Yorkie (Roxie, 3 1/2 months old) seems to have the same problem occasionally. We have 2 pee pads in the apartment. one in the kitchen (where she is kept most of the time) and one one in our living room so that she has a place to go when she is out playing with us.

She has got the peeing on the pad down pat - it took a while - but shes got it - she still has a few accidents now and then.

She will sometimes poo on the pads as well - but not 100% of the time - and we found that more often than not she was going on the carpet. What i've done now this past week - is when I wake up in the morning we take her out - and she does her business. then we bring her back in and give her some breakfast and play with her for a bit.
I then take her for a walk after lunch and she will often pee on during this walk, but not poo. She usually doesn't go poo again till after dinner when we go for another walk - and she usually goes as we finish our walk which is about an hour long. However, tonight she didn't go while we went for our walk, so i brought her in and put her in the kitchen for an hour, and then took her out again, and told her to go "outside" and she did her business.

Seems like she's getting the hang of it; and I'm glad shes going poo outside now - it will be alot easier to transfer her to going completely outside and not inside.
