So frusterated with potty training!! Help! Bella is about 3 months old now, I can not trust her to walk from her crate to the door without peeing, so I carry her. everyone tells me that she will not learn where the door is, if I carry her. Once she is up and has done her thing, I can usually tell when she needs to go and will call her and she will follow me, but if I stop to see where she is at, she will stop and go. Then last night, I took her out about 10:15 and at 10:30 she was laying on me and she peed on my leg, so I took her outside and she went again. Then my husband and son got home from work about 11 and was playing with my son and she peed on him. she had nothing to eat or drink after 9:30. Is this something that I should be concerned with? One of my friends suggested trying to use the bell system. This is my first small dog, and I am getting very frusterated, as I am watching her close, she does not have run of the house. :( |
Several people have used the bell system on YT so hopefully you will get some good info. My girls are old now but I remember how hard the oldest was to train. One thing I have noticed with my 2 females even today...if I take them out every 15 minutes they will pee every 15 minutes. Honestly, I have to still take them out every hour and this prevents accidents. Any longer and I take the risk of one sneaking off to pee. Hang in there. Yorkies are often tough to housebreak but with patience and love you will find a system that works well for your girl. For me it is every hour potty breaks but if I had a pup today I would definitely try the bell. |
well I have thought about that, but one of my friends said that if ur constantly taking them out, they will never be housebroken. I also realize that she is still a baby, but you would think with us having an older dog, she would learn from him. LOL! :( |
I've never been one to automatically take my dog out at certain intervals (except first thing in the morning). Yes, we taught Bailey to ring a bell so that she could tell us when she needs to go out. Its worked well for us. When she was a puppy - we kept her in the family room with us (blocked off with blankets on the floor) - watched for potty signs, scooped up, tapped the bell with her paw, then outside. Repeat as necessary. We repeated for two solid months. The constant supervision was the most difficult part. if for any reason, we couldn't watch her - she went into a crate. She was only allowed in the family room where she was 100% supervised. The idea is 'catch her in the act' and then correct. Good luck |
