how does your yorkie signal when she/he has to go potty? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ahia goes to the door and stares at me when she wants to go out. Buckeye will come and scratch on me to go out.

How did you teach your dog to signal to you that he/she needs to go outside? Mine doesn't do it yet. I'm almost afraid to just wait and see because she might start going on the floor again.

My boyfriend tried with his dog to use a bell attached near the door, but his dog just rings it whenever he wants to play outside so he removed it.

Pheobe use the pad at x play pen; when we go out (car ride, shopping etc) she start crying then we find a place for her to go, i say ok go potty and she goes. At our back yard she usually like to play but she goes whenever she want (in the back yard), sometime she is in the back yard and come running inside the house to the pad and go ,sometime she does it in the back yard or when we take it for a walk or the park. Just be patient and consistent, in the begining i will say go potty and my husband will use other words for potty and she will be all confuse so i told my husband let use one word (potty) and she go it pronto.Hallelujah!.

My little Oliver is estimated at 13 weeks. I got him from a rescue - he was confiscated from a puppymill that was terrible. He is so sweet but I am getting exasperated with the whole housebreaking thing...hmmmpph!

Glad you rescue so precious baby

I think we just have to grin and bear it. Whenever i find pee on the floor and feel myself getting stressed i just have to think 'thank goodness i dont have a big dog!!'

Particularly difficult to inforce control when i find pee on the floor and look at the girls and they both sit there with their heads on one side as if to say ' it wasn't me ' so i have no idea which little monkey did it .

AAAAHHHHHHhhhhh

Adonis will run up and down the hall barking. If that doesn't get my attention, he comes up to me, starts barking, and going back down the hall.

When I say "wanna go out?", and put Venus on the floor too, she follows him to the back door.

I have no clue how Adonis learned to do this. Like he's saying "helloooooo Mom, wakeup, let me out, or you'll have to clean up a mess".

I'm hoping Venus will bark too when she wants out.

Still waiting for my girls to wise up and realise they can actually ask me when they want to go out. I actually think my 9 week old will realise the power she has before my 8 month old. I think shes a little quicker on the uptake.... but thats ok, cos izzie will copy whatever she does any way.

Just got one of those puppy front rucksacks and tried to put izzie in it and she kicked up such a stink. picked up tamzyn and she happily laid in it while i wandered around for ages. when i put her down izzie made a fuss so i picked her up and tried again.... this time she laid still in it good as gold.

GO FIGURE !!!

LOL ALL
