| A little update on Luke: He's doing fine today, no peeing in the house. But he seems to not like using the restroom inside anymore. Yesterday, he only went to the bathroom if my mom took him outside. He also hasn't jumped on the couch at all, and goes in his little crate instead. My mom expressed that she feels bad that he doesn't get on the couch anymore, and is going to try to ease him back on it. If he does pee again though, where could I find these bellybands? Could I find them at Petsmart or any other pet store? |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Petsmart has belly bands, but they don't fit very well. There are several members here who sell custom made ones. Danni- Some things you have said concern me. It's never ok to hit either an animal or a child. If you have any concerns about your mom's way of handling discipline with you, please please please talk to someone close by. Your dad, a neighbor a teacher, someone! Just because a hit doesn't leave a mark or a bruise does not mean it's not abuse. I commend you for looking out for your dog's well being, but to be honest, I am more concerned about yours.

I was just thinking the same thing. This situation seems terrifying for both you and the dog. I think you're Mom needs to anger management, or at least get a grip. I'm happy you are comfortable with expressing your worries with us, but there's not much any of us can do out of state. I know alot of good resources have been mentioned. I hope you utilize them and keep yourself safe. By the way, I've been thinking about this thread all day and night. It has been bothering me.

| I agree w the posters who said to post another thread on YT looking for belly bands. The ppl on here can help you get some that will fit well and hopefully they offer a YT discount! I think I would keep consistency w Luke about the couch. If your mom doesn't want him there, a good alternative could be a little bed he sits in in the living room/family room. Ladyjane on here makes cloud 9 beds that ppl like our just a bed from Petsmart. That way he will not get confused. He will always know his place and feel secure in it.

| I knew not to read this thread. I hate to hear of a defenseless animal being hit. |

| this really makes me sad. and kinda sick to my stomach. i hope your mom doesn't hit her kids the way she hits the dogs. i hope things work out or Luke finds a home that doesn't beat him into fear. poor baby. you have some good advice. keep trying. my dad is also old school that you have to dominate and hit the dog, he sometimes did with my golden retriever and she was a great dog, but i don't agree with hitting an innocent doggie and esp not a tiny yorkie. |

| I can't thank you guys enough for your advice and help! To those worried about me, I have already decided that if my mom hits me for anything involving the dogs, I will move in with my dad. The only reason I don't really want to move though, is that my dad is moving away soon, and if we move together I will have to change schools. And about my mom keep consitency with keeping Luke off the couch, she has already messed that up. He found his own alternative, his little crate, but then my mom allowed him on the couch again. He will still go in his crate somethimes though, but right now he is loving the couch. And I am hoping she does not hit him that hard ever again. She says she has self control and will never kill the dogs or anything, but then again, she did start out only by hitting their paws with a belt, although very lighly. Now she does what she did that night, hits them everywhere with the belt. Also, I wouldn't mind getting a custom-made belly band if that ever happens again, but I think it would raise my mom's suspicion quite a bit, so I will have to check out the stores. |

| I hope you and your fur siblings are okay. Keep us all updated. If the hitting continues please consider finding a new home for the little guy. You can always get your own yorkie when you get your own place
