| Crate training an older yorkie. Romeo did not care for his crate as a pup so we never used it. We are moving and we will have contractors in the house when I am working. Does anyone have any crate training tips for a 5 yr old that has never been in a crate?

| i just had to put my 6 year old yorkie (reeces) back in a crate due to him having accidents while we were in bed and gone. at first he didnt do so good. he would poo in the floor whe i went to put him in the crate. its been almost a week now and after a couple of days he started goin gin on his on. he gets in there and watches me and waits for his treat. (he has never liked his crate before) now he relates his crate to a treat and its not so bad. so maybe u can try the treats. reeces loves the begging bacon strips. i've had a really hard time with him. but this is just an idea there are others on here with way more advice. read some of the other posts. they really helped me. its time consuming but in the end worth it

| It can be done - I know people have done this with rescue dogs, etc. I suggest googling crate training & there are a number of really good sites with how-tos including videos & info on working with an older dog
