| Anyone else have a "Walkin' Pooper?" Higgins leaves his little Yorkie beans all over the house because he walks while he poops! The only good thing about his poops is that they are very firm and pick up easily and don't leave any unpleasant residue. But we sure do watch where we step around here! WHY can't that boy do 'em outside? I KNOW that he KNOWS that is where he is supposed to go......sigh........ |

| Does Higgins ever get discplined? Like perhaps leave him alone on a high area (that he can't fall off of course!) for a few minutes if he poops in the house. Then, if he goes poopie outside, then reward him with a little treat. |

| He gets spoken to sternly when he poops inside. And praised to the skies when he goes outside. He doesn't care. He's a boy. He is too busy to be bothered to even STOP while he poops! Sort of "Poops on the run", ya know? Places to go. Rocks to dig up. Gotta go swimmin'. Need to get Mr. Nasty and bring it to Dad to throw (Mr. Nasty is a throwing toy that has gotten...nasty...). Gotta go play with Princess. He doesn't have TIME to poop proper! |

| Hi everyone, I'm new here and I was just reading your posts about the pee pee pads. My Dolce is 10 weeks on Friday and Ive had her for 2 weeks now. She is about 95% trained to the pee pads. I agree with Fasteddie, u should try dabbing some of their pee on the pads so they can associate the pee with going on the pad. It takes alot of patience and persistence to get them trained to the pads. I would watch Dolce like a hawk whenever she was out roaming the house. Whenever i saw her doing the "pee pee dance" I would direct her to the pads. If she did her business on them, then I would praise her like crazy. In the morning when I would take her out of her playpen, I would put her directly on the pad and say "Go potty" and sure enough she would. She eventually got the hang of it after about a week. Now I dont even have to tell her anymore, she knows where the pads are located in the house and she just goes right there for both of her "businesses"....now if only I could get her to stop biting on EVERYTHING she would be just perfect...although I seem to think she is anyway!! BTW, I just wanted to say that I have been on this site since the first few days that I had her and everyone here has been really helpful in their advice!! Thanks a million!!! |

| Welcome Dolce's Mom! Congrats on your Dolce and your first post on YorkieTalk! Glad you are enjoying the board, as you can tell, there's lots of friendly members that will happily answer any questions you may have. You got one small Cookie if she's all trained at 10 weeks!!! Good job, parenting, maybe you need to write a guide for us on how to train them so fast. :P |

| Seriously! I have had mine for a month and a half now and we are just starting to get the training thing right as far as tactics and all that, now we can do it the right way and hopefully achieve some results. Good for you getting your little one trained so early!!! Keep it up! |

| Welcome to YorkieTalk, Dolce's Mom and congratulations on successful pad training!! I just think it's so much more convenient for Toto and it certainly is for me! We aren't always in a place where it is easy to let her do her business outside and that's why we began using the pads as soon as we brought her home. She is 15 months now and still has an occasional "episode" ... I refuse to call them "accidents" because she knows better!! I can usually associate the episode with something that's out of the norm for her ... I think it's a way for her to "vocalize"!! She is such a sweetie, it's really hard to punish her but she still has to "do time in the pen" when she does this!!!

| Hey Everyone!! Thanks for all the welcomes...everyone here seems sooo nice!! Thanks for the compliments too....now about that guide Fasteddie... I am actually quite shocked as to how fast Dolce learned, especially after I have been reading up on these little munchkins and it seems that everyone has said that they are one of the hardest breeds to train. I have had my share of mutts in the past as well as a Staffordshire terrier (or pit bull as some people like to call them; who by the way was as sweet as pie), and a pug....none of them were as easy as Dolce has been. My boyfriend thinks its just amazing...I happen to think that I just happened to 'luck out' with her. Well, I hope you guys try out what me and Fasteddie said about putting some of their pee on the pads, and DEFINITELY watch them like a hawk (if u can, I know we all have to work), but if u catch them 'in the act' immediately put them on that pad. They'll get the hang of it...hey, my 4 year old nephew will still not go "number 2" on the toilet...I guess it just takes some little ones longer than others! Hang in there, they'll come around. Oh and by the way, Dolce has her 'episodes' too...I think she tries to test me sometime. Yesterday she had her front paws on the pad and started to go, of course missing the pad entirely, but hey she was in the vicinity so I couldnt yell at her. Actually I never have yelled at her, shes still a baby, I just try and show her...Good luck with your babies everyone and I look forward to talking to all of you on these forums!! |

| Gucci... goes 4 out 5 times on her wee wee pads.... When she poops most of it is on pad the other is nearby.. she is always running lol so when she poops it is on the go...lol I have been taking her outside for several weeks, but I have no luck... I think this is the only puppy who goes outside and comes back in to do her business. She doesn't have a clue... I would like to have her trained both indoors on pads and outside. I live in the Northeast and it gets pretty cold here... Am I wasting my time training her outside? Will she ever get the hang of it? She is 15 weeks old. |
