As far as the barking, they are terriers. They bark. There are many many books out there on positive training that will explain how to quiet them once they start barking, but I don't know of a way to get them to not bark in the first place. They are also going to bark more if they are not properly exercised. Again I recommend a trainer and also doggie daycare.

| Not movng...training... Quote:
I will not sell my place, because of the dog(s)... I got 2 small dogs so I can "paper" train them...i am home with them..and when I am not..they are out with me.. Neither one of them do their business outside..as I cant take them out consistently... So I dont get them in the habit.. Harry hates to pee outside...I usually bring a wee wee pad with me...out it down and then and only then will he go...

| apartments and potty training Interesting chatter even though not entirely appropriate for this forum I will say that regardless of wrong/right decision to hide your dogs, having worked for a apartment leasing office I will say most people do get caught and that is VERY expensive since your file likely notates all the rules about dogs and you likely signed a very long contract that will say soemthing to the effect of no dog and fines that go along with breaking the rules which you will be legally bound to abide by. Not preaching just sharing information incase you were not aware. It is VERY expensive to get caught... Anyway i wanted to discuss the potty training issue. we use those jump start pads as well for same reasons as other person(breeder suggested and he is too young to go out) and they work better than any brand I have tried. He will voluntarily go to them and if not on them around them, so th eeffort is there. I have started doing crate training to get some routine about him and that is working well. He will still get excited and just go wherever from time to time but progressis being made. Now , aside from the pee, what are your (you all's ) doggies doing about pooping? Ralphie likes to go right in the front door on the rug, and NEVER on a pee pad, perhaps because he wants privacy? Any comments? Oh and another thing, spot cleaning with enzyme cleaners and a Bissell Spot cleaner ( $37 at Lowe's or Linens N Things) Great investment, works like a charm so that there is no spot or smell. |

| I think some of you have a lot of learning to do from Michiko! Of course, I am kidding.... Anyway... I currently live in the apartment that doesn't allow dogs. (Now I kinda have permission to dog sit my friend's dogs sometime though..) My landlord doesn't want to have a dog because her and his past bad experience with tenants. A lot of people here know that I have been struggling with this no-pet policy for long long long time because I have been wanting a yorkie since last August. I think the threads are somewhere.. but I have posted a lot of questions about this issue, having a dog at no pet policy apartment. Oh believe me, a lot of people told me to just sneak the dog in or just say that I am watching friend's dog. But you know what.... the The fact is that I still don't have a yorkie and looking for an apartment to move in a couple months so I can have a yorkie. I even went to visit this wonderful breeder last month 7-8 hours away (drive) and left her available yorkie behind. I cried and cried like.. a little child. Do I regret that I didn't bring him back and hide at my apartment. No.. I don't regret.. I felt bad to the pup... but I know that I made a right decision. To tell you the truth, I am proud of myself. Some people who have read my posts before, they can tell you how crazy I am about yorkies.. but you know what.. as some people already said, it is not fair to the dog not to be who they are, it is just because.... you live in no pet apartment. Yorkies are small animals but they are smart if you train them correctly. I am not sure if you can train them if you have to hide them. Walking the dog will be really tough too. And I think the hardest thing is that you cannot show off your pup to neighbors!! Trust me... you would love to show off your pup!!!!! I do at least!! I think.. it is not gonna be really fun. When I move.. I probably end up paying double the rent with a dog. It is such a hassle to move the apartment that I have been living for 5 years... but you know what it is really important if I really want to provide a good home for a pup! I can understand how frustrating it is...when you want to get a yorkie and struggle with your current apartment pet policy!! It is important.. Maybe I should line up the reason. 1. It is not fair to the dog. 2. You will feel bad and probably miserable hiding a dog. 3. If your landlord finds out.. you will be in a big trouble.. or a small trouble. 4. When you try to finally move.... you will worry about rental referrence. (If your landlord found out that you broke the policy) 5. You might get fined and it might cost you more after all. 6. You have to worry when you walk the dog. 7. You cannot show off your dogs to neighbors. 8. If your dog doesn't get trained and damaged the property because their urine.. or.. anything else... It might cost you more.. 9. Your dogs might bark while you are away and will make you worry. 10. You will probably get a headche! I can think of more.. but .. this is my .. 2 yen of advice..I might sound harsh .. and I am sure these things are not something you want to hear.. ..I have experienced hearing all those things too from YT members.. but I have appreciated their feedback. I shouldn't be saying it.. but I will say it.. because... people need to hear what honest feedback is. See.. my situation now.. I cannot have a yorkie because I haven't moved to the apartment where I can have a dog. So you know what I have.. at my apartment and office? "STUFFED ANIMALS" that is what I have... because that is what I deserve right now. When I can provide the home that pup deserve.. then I will have a real one.. from the breeder whom I fell in love with!! It was good... researching time I spent... while.. I decided about the moving.

| I really appreciate everyone spending time posting comments on this thread, even if it wasn't mine to begin with. I, however, am well aware of the situation I am putting myself in and the consequences that might come with it. There are also other details in MY particular case that makes it a little different, but I understand where everyone is coming from. I definitely dont want anyone to think that I'm getting a puppy just to be cooped up in a crate all day long cause Im going to be so scared someone is going to find out about her cause that is certainly NOT the case! |

| Michiko I totally agree with you. I wanted a dog my whole life and my parents would not let me, then I went to college and had a dorm room, finally moved out to an apartment and still I waited. My husband and I finally were able to get a small townhouse and THEN we finally got Loki. We still aren't allowed to have a fence, but that hasn't really been a problem. Loki just goes outside on a leash. It actually makes him do his thing very quickly (on command) because he knows he's just out there to pee not explore. Walks are for exploring!

| Sorry but here goes,first the real issue is teching how to use a potty pad,I always start with soaking up pee pee with the pad,then they know where to go,second its not nice to lie,I have always found if your honest things always work out,tell the truth to the landlord, if they say no pets,then find a new apartment,are you being fair to anyone doing this,especially to the yorkie..who wants to live where you have to sneek and hide..yorkies are dogs,yes its had to remember that,but it is a fact |

| When I started wanting a yorkie... first thing I did was asking my landlord. Well I got "No" Some people get a lucky "okay.. that is fine..." So I got No.. .. My boyfriend asked her and his son about three times actually... because.. I didn't want to move this apartment with so many different reasons.. but.. I am glad that I finally made a decision... to move.. Feels really good!
