Housetraining my Meeko :animal-pa Can anyone tell me how long it took them to housetrain their Yorkie? I have had Meeko for a week and I know it will take longer then a week, but I just want to know there is some light at the end of the tunnel. |
Oh, if you are consistent and very persistent, he will be potty trained in no time at all!!!!!! My Hobbs was potty trained by 16 weeks old. But, we were at home with him 24/7 to potty train him. We were VERY consistent! |
:animal-pa Thanks at least I know there is hope. He is up once through the night and is out about 10 times during the day. I hope that soon he will sleep through the night, but I am starting to get used to getting up. I take him outside and then straight back to he crate. We aren't able to be home with him all day, but he is never alone more then 3 hours. He has had few accidents, but we live in an apartment and it is hard to get him outside right away. |
gracie is almos 5 months and not fully potty trained she goes on her potty pad 97 % of the time but she wont go to the door to let us know she needs to or anything! Good luck! |
Loki still had accidents until about 10-12 months. BUT - he's now on medication for incontinence and has some other issues that made it difficult, especially when he had to pee every 20 minutes. But he's now completely trained. It just took a LOT of consistency. We didn't stress about the hard stuff, like standing in the rain or letting him out at night. He will probably always need a trip out in the middle of the night and that's OK, but basically as long as he tells me that he needs to go out, I'm happy. Even if it's every 30 mins. He has been fully crate trained since he was about 6 months old. I can leave him in his crate for 4-5 hours without worrying about him having an accident. He's not crated a whole lot, maybe a few hours in the evening when we run errands and sometimes on the weekends if we go shopping. But it's nice that I don't have to worry about coming home to a mess. I think a dog without "issues" could go 6-8 hours with the same results, once they are trained and old enough. (He's almost 2) The side effect of crating is, of course, a hyper dog when you get home. We go for long walks and do doggie daycare when necessary :animal-pa |
I hate to tell you this but, Sadie is 2 1/2 yrs old and still not totally house trained..Yorkies can be hard to potty train |
