I have 3 and they all have accidents. They know where their suppose to go and go there 80% of the time but the 20 % they don't is a real pain. I confine them when not home and they are fine. When I let them out of the bedroom to go outside or feed them is when they decide they want to go on the wood floors. I have had 8 yorkies and none of them were 100% potty trained. I had 1 pom and she never had an accident. So I don't know if it's me or them! |
Getting rid of him is out of the question! I adore him, I hate the problem, but we NEVER get mad at him. I know he is not doing it maliciously, it is just frustrating trying to solve it. I am just saying that if I knew this before hand I would have selected a different breed.I have had dogs that were stubborn and worked thru it but I am not saying he is being stubborn I am saying he doesn't have a clue. |
Well you can try the belly band inside the house, you use a sanitary napkin inside of the silk band. You need to change it or at least check it every 4 hours or so. This way if he lifts his leg to pee or mark, he won't be staining everything around. When I have a female in heat in our home, I do need to resort to this. Otherwise it is a mess. My large dogs do not mark inside, never have, probably never will. |
Mine does the same thing. Pees when I'm not looking. I thought we had this down and then he started to do this in the night in the downstairs hallway. He may have to sleep in his xpen for a while!!!:rolleyes: |
I thought if I had him sleep in his xpen with lots of pads, he might remember what the pads are for. I leave pads out for him in the night, but he still goes downstairs to that hallway. |

If he is going e very 20 mins I would take him to a vet in case of a uti or some other urinary problem. |

I must love hard to train dogs, lol. Dachshunds are also stubborn like the Yorkie, but have found that with them, I put them out anytime I saw them put the nose to the ground and start sniffing or if they started to do the circle. I finally have learned their tells as to when it is time to go out. Bailey will come up to me and do a little "woof" sound and then try to bump my nose. Hope you are able to get him trained soon. They are such great companions |

Just an update on this posting. My pup is now 8 mos old and I think he is FINALLY house trained. He hasn't had any accidents for a couple weeks now, so I think we are there. It has never taken this long with any of our other dogs thru the years. Our other dogs were usually house trained within the first couple of weeks after coming home with us. My wife gets the lion's share of the credit she is relentless about getting him out at specific times and it finally paid off. Incidentally we didn't use any tethers,crates, or any other gimmicks just persistence. That is probably why it took so long but nevertheless he made it. |
Yay! WooHoo! WTG! |
Glad it finally worked out for you. Persistence paid off. Now my Winston is not your typical Yorkie, very unusual as he learned to go potty outside only, the very first day home with us, and he was only 8 weeks old. Never has had a single "accident" in the house, ever. My suggestion only works if you hear it before your bring your pup home. Do not let his paws touch your floors until he has been outside and had done his duty there...from then on he knew where to go and that it made us soooooooooooooooooooooo happy. That's all they really want to do is make us happy. |
Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty:( I am no help as my Yorkie came house broken at 9 weeks. He slept through the night from the start as well. I only wish my children had been the same. lol All the best in perservering though. I'm sure it will work with all the 'hawk' attention you are giving. |
So glad to hear that it finally worked out for you:) |
