| Potty training My Yorkie is almost 1 yr old, and still not potty trained. Is it too late to train her? She doesn't seem to get it. We have tried everything. Aside from potty training, she knows all other commands; sit, down, up, jump, stay, and come, but she refuses to potty train. What should I do? |

| Back up and restrict the free area to an xpen that has water toys and potty pad. Keep the area small until she is predictable the pad or outside if you are training for that. Don't increase the area until they are predictably using the pantheon gradually increase their area of freedom. If a problem occurs go back to a more restricted area and gradually increase it again. Giving too many options will not help the pup focus on what they need to do. And of course treats when they get it right!

| I'm having the same issue with Gidget (almost 8 mos old). I would really like to get her using the pee pads exclusively because we have some really bad weather days in Jan & Feb. Last year, I couldn't get out of the house for 4 days because of the ice and snow on the deck and front porch. If I'm trying to get her to use ONLY the pee pads, should I be taking her outside also. When I take her for a walk, she will invariably either pee or poop while we're out. What should I be doing? |
