| Training an "old" Yorkie - a PROBLEM? Help!! My eleven year old Yorkie, Theo, has been doing his "business" in the house whenever and wherever he pleases. This can even be 5 minutes after having him outside to potty. He was never perfect in the potty department - a few accidents, occasionally - but for the last couple of months he's been terrible!! He is not crate trained. So, does anybody have any suggestions? I am considering trying to introduce a crate to him - and to his adopted sister, Sophie - although I feel a little guilty about her because she is very good about her training. However, they don't like to be seperated, so putting only Theo in a crate would be a problem, I think. I'm at my wits end. Does anyone have any advice for me? |

| Did this start when you got Sophie? Is he urinating only alot? If so you may want to take him to the vet to rule out any medical condition. MaryKay AprilLoves Mommy |
