YT 500 Club Member | Apt solution I live in a loft, with no backyard. And the area we live in isn't the greatest. So I came up with an idea to put a doggy door in the front window and build an enclosed outdoor kennel for Izzy to have to hopefully help potty train her. It has definitely helped. I will post a picture of it in a few minutes. I had it built out of that plastic white lattice so she can't chew through it, and it looks pretty nice. The owner of the apts loved it . I can even grow vine flowers to dress it up. It has big stairs leading down she can sun bathe on and I don't have to worry about anyone stealing her. I can take down a section to clean it out when needed. And when I'm gone she doesn't have to hold her bladder. Oh and I even built a little balcony that only the cats can jump to for them to go in and out as they wish, too. All my animals are loving it. She took up pooping outside almost right away. Now we're working on her adding peeing to that equation and she'll be set. Just an idea for people with busy schedules and very little yard to work with. I took the pictures at night unfortunately. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You're welcome, some have no trouble reading with the all caps, but many of us here, including me, have old eyes, (we have great advice though!)

Go to: modernpuppies.com and look at their PUPPY APARTMENTS, or just Google Puppy Apartment. These are crates that have a divider so that one side is for sleeping, one side for going potty. Your dog sounds like the perfect candidate for this type of crate! He will choose to "go" where he does not sleep. Until he gets used to going in his apartment, he should be crated at all times that you cannot watch him closely. When you CAN watch him closely, start taking him outside every time he eats, wakes up, or plays, and every two hours at other times. If he does goes outside, give him a treat immediately and say, "Go Potty. Good Boy!" every single time. With patience and consistency he should begin to catch on fairly quickly at his age. Good Luck!

| I adopted my 4 yr old girl a few months back...Piper now does very well at letting me know when she needs to go out (drops to floor, turns her cutest little head and does a low grrr-ruff). However, when at work, all bets are off; in order to alleviate my frustration I bought a vacuum-size steam cleaner (@$100) which simply helps keep the mistakes in perspective! |

Yorkie Talker | I am in the same boat with the rest of you. Madisyn is almost 4 months and we are still going out every hour during the day. I have a 13 year old yorkie and she was not this hard to train. My older yorkie is 10 lbs. And Madisyn is only expected to be 5 to 7 pounds. I have heard the smaller the dog the more often you will have to take them out. Does anyone have experience with a smaller adult yorkie? I am wondering, once she is trained she will not have to go potty every 3 to 4 hours or will she be able to go longer like my bigger yorkie? |

YT 500 Club Member | Update So while they do still use their outdoor kennel when they want, they've just gotten lazy and still choose to go in the house. Toby went for two weeks of i house training and they said he did very well there, but he came back and instantly started marking again. And I had steam cleaned and sprayed with all the right stuff to erase the smells . Carpet and walls both. But he just started off like he left. Actually, he got a little worse concerning his excite pee. But now that he's been back a few days that has calmed down a bit. But it's still excessive . I'm thinking I'll just put up a gate at the stairs and get him one of those stupid cloth things that go around his waist. I guess I get distracted too much or he's just gotten too quick cause even when I tether him to me he manages to mark on things without me catching him. And yes he'll hold it in his kennel. Mind you the kennel is attached to their doggie door to go outside, but if he is out of the kennel he won't bother to go outside. I'm pretty sure he just hates me. I'm just being dramatic really on that, but sometimes it feels like that |
