Potty training We are having a very difficult time potty training Zoey. We have been training her inside on potty pads, due to her being so small and us being afraid to take her outside due to her not having all of her shots yet... she has her own personality and when she wants to go on the potty pads, she will.. then other times she will look right at me and start peeing on the carpet. She knows she is in trouble once I say her name in a stearn voice, but continuously pees and poops wherever she likes. Don't get me wrong, we have taken her outside to see how she would react... and sure enough all she wants to do is sniff around rather than release herself and once we bring her inside, there she goes straight for the carpet again!! Suggestions??? Tips?? I know Yorkies are fairly difficult to potty train, but there has got to be something out there!! |
I didn't bring mine in until she went. Yes. I know. It takes forever, but that is the only answer. |
Yeah... it just seems like everything we are doing is wrong. ;-/ |
I agree with ~yorkieusa~ but it does depend on the tempetures outside. Another way you can train her instead of potty pads is to maybe get a litter box and see what she does. It's worth a try... |
I did read this somewhere too... We got her the "Potty Patch" She seemed to use it a lot when we first got it... now all she seems to want to do is chew it up!! |

I absolutely agree. :) |
I have heard that yorkies are very hard to potty train, but Louis was potty trained (outside, no potty pads) by the time he was 16 weeks old. The best advice I can give is to take her outside every 45 mins. Keep her in a crate when you aren't watching her. Be consistent. Even if she takes a while outside, I agree with what the others said, just keep waiting until she goes. When I was potty training Louis every time I would take him outside, I would say "go pee" that way he eventually knew what I was talking about and wouldn't take forever sniffing around. Also, make sure you get a good carpet cleaning product, like Natures Miracle, and clean the spot really well to keep her from going in that spot again. Good luck, it takes a lot of patience, but I was able to get Louis potty trained during a blizzard!:D |
I had to reaf this twice to make sure it wasnt myself that had posted it. I have a zoey and im having a very hard time getting her potty trained. Shes 4 months old and just wants nothing to do with her potty box at all. For awhile she was doing ok, but now she could careless. She will even go up next to it and do #2 ugghhhhh. I can be standing right next to her and she will look up at me and then pee right there infront of me. I'm going crazy trying to figure out what to do now. I talked to the vet and they had some suggestions some of which we had already tried. no luck. I hope you start to have better luck very soon. |

It seems like these little guys/girls are FULL of attitude, they seem to say "look at me I am peeing on your new carpet" all the time with a smile on their face! :eek: I took mine out every 20-30 minutes it seemed and stood FOREVER in the middle of the night saying "go potty" my neighbors had to think I was crazy! But it all worked out, I read that smaller dogs are a lot harder to potty train, that is no joke! Mine is over a year and good now. I am amazed since the husband got a Boxer and she has been at the house for 2 weeks and is already at the door wanting to pee....??? The difference in small dogs (my yorkie is still cuter than his boxer!) :aimeeyork |
Patience is the Key! We took Bella out every hour, after she ate, played, etc. We would say "go potty" and then give her a treat IMMEDIATELY. If he wouldn't go within 10 min. we put her in her crate for 15 or so and then back out. It didn't take long before she went and then the intervals got longer. It took alot of praise, enthusiasm, and treats. But she got there. Good luck and try to stay positive even though it can be VERY frustrating! |
