My definition of housebroken is the same as yours. I also agree that ignoring the mistakes and praising the success is the best way to housebreak a puppy. It worked well on Rory. Lane (our puppymill rescue) has been with us for 2.5 years, and she is the queen of the quarter sized marking spots, but full accidents aren't all that uncommon. You'd think she has won Westminster with the celebration we throw everytime she uses her pad. She is so proud of herself too - she'll run head and tail up prancing to the kitchen cabinet where all their treats are! I just love to see her feeling confident about herself! :D I have found if I catch her in the act, and do the ah, ah, ah sound. She'll usually stop and look at me, at which point I have her finish on the pad. I'm not sure if she's made the connection there or not - we like to joke she is the "pretty" one. :) |

Perhaps the OP is a troll? Anyway, as far as potty training, my pup is 10 weeks and she is doing extremely well with potty training and the use of crate. Although Im pretty sure she has a long way to go before Im comfortable with letting roam my home all alone, but I think she is holding her own to be young. As for the OP, why post that on here if you know you will get such a negative response???? Funny how the OP never came back to respond... |
Hey JacinthaP Too bad you are No Longer A Member. I would have liked to introduced you to the Air Force Pilot, the student Engineer, the defender of Yorkies who took a hawk for a walk on a leash. They all have a very similar way of posting and treating their Yorkies and you all have so much in common with each other it would have been a friendhship sealed with Yorkie Love! Sad to see you go but for some reason all of the others are gone as well. :rolleyes: Maybe you will find each other in the real world...........:thumbup: |
I am sure it is safe to call the OP "Cruel.." Although no longer a member the OP can still read open threads. |
Wow, Wasnt the whole rub your dogs nose in its pee like the thing to do in the 80's for some people?? This is 2011, where your yorkie has more clothes than you, has more toys, things to play with, wears 200$ + swarovski crystal collars, harnesses, wears diapers, belly bands, sleeps more comfortable than most humans, has more beds and blankets than they even use, has better food than what most of their owners eat, has strollers, goes everywhere with their human, has a car seat... etc etc To me my Yorkie is my child, as nutty as I sound. I think I would sound like a dumb bunny if I said any different! To rub a living breathing creatures nose in its own Pee is a very sad thing to do. |
Aww, so sorry to hear the OP is no longer a member, I was looking forward to some more training advice. |

I will report that rubbing your husband's dirty laundry in his nose does NOT, I repeat, does not make him put them in the hamper. ;) |

It is very sad that you think rubbing your poor 10 week old pups nose in the mess is a way to train him. I just hope that one day when you are old and weak, someone doesn't treat you the same way and rub your nose in your business when you have accidents in your bed. |
All I can add to this is: it's puppy potty, clean it up and get over it. Our current youngest is 7 months old...I caught her tonight starting to squat on the bedroom carpet, pee starting to come out (she's generally very good about the potty pads). I told her no in a firm voice, took her to the potty pad and talked all baby-talk and reminded her potty pad use gets treats. Then I thoroughly cleaned the quarter size pee from the carpet. Then the two year old promptly came over and squatted on the pee pad with her butt hanging half off of it onto the carpet with 1/2 of her pee going on the carpet. She tried to go where she was suppose to - did she know she was 1/2 off the pad, I doubt it...so she got a treat and praise. Then she gave the 7 month old her smug little doggie look. lol Seriously, it's just potty. Too many other things going on in the world to get too worked up over the potty mishaps of small dogs. |
I think you girls need to start a new thread - How to Train a Husband: Yes you can train the unwanted behaviors out of him! |
Try rewarding him with certain favors when he is good, kind of like treats we give our babies. See if that works:D |
I doubt that this is a real member. But it worked to push our buttons and cause a storm of verbage about how we really think a puppy should be trained. We know more today about how to humanely train puppies and children. I know my mother spanked our dog with a newspaper and rubbed its nose in pee. She also put soap in my mouth for telling a lie. God love her she did what she thought would work. Today we should know better. |

Well, I missed this when it was originally posted. I think the OP is an idiot but I have to say I have laughed my butt off with the training your husband posts! You gals are great! What a way to make my Saturday! :) It is really nice to know that all husbands are alike! :D |
Wow! That was a REALLY SHORT membership!! |

Hey Maddiesmommie, have you figured out how to get him to put his dishes in the dishwasher? Rubbing his nose in something or newspaper? What do you think!? :D |
