For those of you who's yorkies are pee pad trained...

[SpunkyChels]

Hi everyone. Please could you tell me when I should start feeding my puppies puppy food. They are now 19 days old, crawling around and inquisitive. The father is a blonde and the mother is black and blonde. Father 3.2kgs and mother 2.4kgs. Both are girls puppies, now 500gms
This is my first litter, so all help will be welcomed.
Thanks

Hi , 1st time posting. maybe you are expecting too much from her too soon. wait a while before taking her to visit or to hotels....yorkies are smart so I'm sure you have good luck.

That was such good advice on potty training. your pups breeders were not very responsible. I have been extremely lucky. I rescued my 1st female at 4 yrs. old. She was only a breeder & lived in a crate. only took 2 days to potty train her to pads & outside.Two mo. ago,rescued an 6 yr. old male ----same thing 2 to 5 days all potty trained to a pad and outside/ he was dirty at his 1st home .Only takes showing him something 3 x's & he gets it. so incredibly smart these little Yorkies. Just don't allow them to outsmart you !!!!! A well trained dog is a joy forever !!!

Being that we knew Kricket was going to be a small yorkie and that we had had another 6pound yorkie before her (Gizmo) we had pre decided to litter box train! The winter weather is hard on me so a little yorkie! And yes I spoiled her.... Still do! We when we took her out we had puppy pads that we would put down in the bathroom. My mother in law used to be so amazed at how she would just get up and run down to the bathroom and go like people. And like people she liked her privacy! Now we are on two acres and after having her in the yard walking about with us she piddled outside! She has become a DOG out here! Unlike in the city where she would go out for a walk and come in to piddle! Both our Yorkies have been tricky... Both were given a treat for going and both faked the piddle act just to get the treat! Now that was alarmingly smart to us mere people! I find they can be very stubborn when they choose... One day at a time!

AMEN!!!!!!! It is at a point where I am uncomplicating my life and if it aint easy and less stressful, I dont fool with it! I have to add I dont usually take my pups to other peoples homes.....that solves a lot of problems that can arise.

\yes I have taken to the belly bands when I visit, as my Yorkie is more prone to mark indoors at a strangish home.
My male BRT not at all.

I also don't take them to homes where I personally don't know how well behaved and trained their own animals are. The few times a year we socialize outside of our "doggy friends", I usually keep our animals at home.

I am wondering why my boys pee on their blankets or towel on the floor. I trained them on pee pee pads and I think they must think the towel or blanket is a pee pee pad. I can't figure out the dog mind! What are they thinking! They will pee on any rug I lay down. I guess they can't tell the difference. I use No More Marking by Natures Miracle and they still mark! I don't know what to do.

Pixie will only use the pee pad at my house. If we go anywhere I have to take her outside to pee. There is an amazing spray I use:Amazon.com: Wondercide Eco-88 32 oz Pet Stain and Odor Remover E8801: Pet Supplies
make sure you do exactly as they say. I usually soak up the pee then I steam clean it and then I use the spray.

When Trinket was a pup, I kept her in her play pen with her pad. Now that she is running the house, I keep the pad in the same spot. She goes to it every time. Still doesn`t stop her at other peoples houses. Think I will try the panties and see if that works.

That is too cute.

I agree that my Kash at home she is trained to use the pee pad but at some one house she goes any where. I have a question what age to get rabid shot for my yorkie.

Now, the problem is that she still insists on peeing on my moms area rug in under the dining room table. I don't know why she does this??? We have some area rugs at home, so I don't think it's because she hasn't experienced a rug before. Each time she does her thing there we clean it with Nature's Miracle, so I don't think it's the smell that makes her keep going there. My mom thinks Esme is the cutest, so she doesn't get upset. But, I am wondering, will she ever be potty trained in my mom's house too?? When dogs are completely pee pad trained, does that mean they will ONLY go on the pads wherever they are? Or will she only go on the pads, at home?
I am really curious about this.

I have the same problem with Trinket. She is two now, and I don`t think she will ever understand. I just take her out.

What goes inside the panties? Do you buy puppy diapers?

does the training mist really work ?
