| The wait... Sounds like his "reward" is outside...and he's learned how to make it last. As I've said, I'm in study mode and do not have experience...but wonder if this would work. Contain his outside potty to a small area with a child's play pen or an e-pen. Someone else (Amanda7, I believe) advised me on outside potty...they have a child's play pen lined with rocks in the middle and bricks around the side. They put pup in it and he stays until his job is done. then he gets to run around. Or maybe, make him stay on a leash until his job is done, then treat, praise and unleash for play time. Just suggestions....I'll be asking what to do in about 6 weeks when nothing is working!!!!! Let us know what you try and how it works. JaTa (Jasper Tate's Mom-to-be) |

| The person I got Venus from gave me something thats called Nutri-Cal. Those first few days, I gave it to her a good bit, especially when she wasn't eating well, with the first separation from her Mom and sisters. Now I'm not doing the pee pee pads, just outside training. I kept her food and water in the crate, then wondered why she kept messing it up! Duh. Since I found this board a few days ago, found a lot of things I was doing wrong and trying to correct them now!! I now keep her food and water out of the crate. When we come in, she eats drinks then back to the crate. I also have some of my older Yorkies treats cut up, and in a baggie, and keep them in my pocket. When we're outside, and she potties, I praise, and give her a treat. Today is day 2 on this method, and the only time she messes her crate up is sometime in the late night to early morning! I spent a lot of time here studying, and have learned a lot. |

| Potty Marks on Carpeting Cleaning Aid Bear is 7 months now and does very well at going outside - as long as we watch for his signals. I found two produces for cleaning up stains on carpets that work very, very well. One is Zero Odor, which does great at removing the smell and new stains. Their website is ZeroOdorStore.com. The other product I buy from QVC com. It is Joe Campanelli Professional Formula Stain Remover. It takes out old stains. Just spray it on and stain's gone! Both of these products are very reasonable price-wise. I paid Over $100. for a cleaning system on line that can't even come close to these two products. If anyone wishes move information, email me.

| I have two boys. They STOPPED marking when I made them some pee poles. I filled empty 2 litre coke bottles with water. I lay a piddle pad on the floor and set the bottle in the middle of it and drape it with another piddle pad! Now they hike there!!!!!!!!! |

| jjl720 I have been reading the housebreaking issues and find I'm having an impossible time with my new Yorkie. He is 5 months and weighs in at 2lb. 6oz. The breeder told me he was litter trained , otherwise I would not have bought such an old puppy. He was also much smaller than I had hoped for. He has been home for 6 days and the first two days he used his litter. Since then, he will go in the box and do nothing and is urinating and deficating all over my kitchen. I am spending every minute of my day with him, and he will hold his urine for hours(up to 12!)I have housebroken numerous dogs and have never had this problem. I am exhausted from watching which is why I probably don't see him. Today I turned around for a minute to wash my hands and he went. He is not on any schedule and will mess in his crate at night. I take him to the pan after sleep, meals and play, but no luck I am at my wits end. He is also still barking at night and it is affecting my children- they are exhausted in school. Vet said to buy a large crate and put his pan, bed inside at night and I will try this tonite. Any suggestions? |

| Housetraining... Geez, I am depressed. I just adopted my cute little Oliver two days ago and I am getting rather bummed cause he was doing so good on the pee pads but today has been going anywhere but them. We have carpet everywhere in my apt except for the kitchen and bathroom. I have caught him in the act many times and scold him saying "NO" but he doesn't seem to phased by it. When I put a gate up to keep him only in the kitchen, he whines and whines. I don't know when to let him into the carpeted area anymore. I don't get it...he was good as gold his first day here and know it's like he is clueless.....(( HELP! |

| Ref: Housetraining Hang in there and don't let it get you down. I've been there! Bear is 7 months old and we still have moments when he just drops his butt and goes! Since Bear goes outside I have learned to be aware of his signals when he has to go. Oliver will get the hang of it.

| Same thing with my Max. He was not pan trained like the breeder said. Yesterday I decided I was too stressed so I decided to treat him like an 8 week old. Since the weather here is going to be warm for the next week or so, I threw out the pan and decided to housebreak him to the outside like I've done all the other dogs. The vet said it was ok in spite of his small size. I've been taking him outside all day and rewarding him for doing his business. He hasn't messed in the house all day. It will take longer since he's had 5 months to learn bad habits and he made a lot of messes in the kitchen in the week I've had him. But I feel more in control and comfortable with this decision which will probably make him less stressed. I will still crate him with the litter pan at night, though. Hope it doesn't confuse him, but at least I have a plan! |
