If she still does then bring her in and hold her. When she does go outside Praise and act like she just did the best thing ever and give a treat. If she has a inside potty (and you see her do it) tell her ATTT in a firm voice and take her out. She can be potty trained you just have to be consistent. And If you show you regret getting her ( as stated in another thread) She will know it. Puppies have feelings too. And if you truly feel this way than you should find a new home. Sorry to be blunt but some times you need to be. |
The crate has been halved with a divider. It's not too big. She has no choice but to soil where she sleeps so she should avoid doing so. We most certainly let her know that inside potty is a bad thing. The firm voice is not an issue when she has an accident but every recommendation is that reward and praise (positive reinforcement) it the way to go when she does things right. I work at home and give her lots of attention. So do the kids. They fiight over her most of the time. I don't think that is the issue. It's just that she doesn't get it. |

Sorry if I was no help. |

As for those that think we should find her another home: She can be a lot of fun (at times) and the kids love her to death. We are at the point of no return and would not part with her. For the most part, we have resigned ourselves to the fact that this dog (and the messes she produces) will be a part the house. Anyone else that is considering a Yorkie should be advised that they should (likely) expect a similar experience. |
I am so glad I am not by myself. Kayla will go on papers but there is times, more times than not, that she will come right back in and tee tee. I love this baby so much and I wish she could get the potty thing down. I am hopeing that when she starts to go out with my schnauzers using the doggie door that will help. Right now she barks at it. For some reason she is kinda scared of the doggie door or she is trying to figure out where they go when they go through it. They are really smart . When she does go in the house she does this thing with her back legs. (like males) Then she jumps and runs. This dog runs faster than anything I have ever seen. My other dogs just sit and watch like, What was that??? lol!!! |

When you get a yorkie at 6 weeks they are being taken from there mom like 6 weeks to young. some are ok at 10 weeks but it is best at 12. We all want to help but All you have done is come on and complain. If you want help Listin, read, and love that puppy. If you work with her and reward good she will dogood. If you slip one time it could take alot longer. |

She did pee on my wife once. My wife was sitting at the computer desk and felt something warm on her feet and looked down to find the dog irrigating her sandals in sort the ultimate act of defiance. At least they weren't her $100 designer shoes. :eek: |

Have you had her checked by the vet for possible medical issues like a UTI? My Soleil is 5 months old and although she isnt perfect..as far as housebreaking goes..otherwise yes she is perfect lol...she still has accidents once in a while..I would say 95% of the time she goes outside and 5% in the house.. If your dog is never housebroken which could happen I suppose...are you willing to put up with accidents for 15-20 years? I doubt your dog will never be housebroken but I guess that is a possibility.. Also you might want to look into an x-pen and give her little to no access to anywhere else in the house until she shows some improvement.. Dawn |

We've thought very seriously about "diapers" but that won't teach her anything other than to further (if that's possible) distance her from the need to eliminate outside. I don't think the issue is medical. She's been to the vet a lot - in fact our vet lives across the street from us so we see him all the time - probably too much from his point of view. |
I have seven dogs, 5 yorkies, 1 pom/chi mix, and a papillion. They are all 99.9% pad trained and by that it means there will be mistakes once and awhile. Two will only go outside unless totally necessary to use a pad. One can be outside playing and runs in to use a pad. I even need to put a pad down at the dog park for Kayla. Her mind is set on potty is for the pad! I think some dogs take longer than others but from my experience it takes a full year to get a small dog totally trained. It means consistency and really working at it. I have a 8x10 tiled bathroom where they know there is always a pad down and it works wonderfully. If I am downstairs near the yard the dog door is available. Just keep plugging away and it will work eventually. |

Maybe it's not the dog's fault for not being housetrained. The problem may lie elsewhere. |
Try hiring a trainer who is experienced with this type of issue. If the cost worries you, you might be able to find one that they will give you advice by phone or e-mail for a small charge. |
Hey I hear you. Nothing Rickles does could make me get rid of him, I love him so much I feel like he is my child (I don't have human children) but God love him I can take him outside for a long walk and just like any other male he will pee on everything but the moment he gets home he runs to his rug and poops. He was 3 when I got him and I was his 6th owner so believe me he came with issues. We were attacked while on a walk by a 150 lb. St. Benard and thank God his owner finally came and pulled him off of us. My arm was bitten because I was protecting Rickles who I had grabbed up. Now he is terrified of ALL dogs so when we go to the vet we have to wait in the restroom until it's our turn. Then I got the bright idea that a Yorkie puppy might be the best thing for him and it has proved to be wonderful but now I have 2 yorkies that have accidents quite often but I just clean it up. I have pulled up all the carpet in my house and now have hardwood which helps alot with clean up. I am sure they could be taught and I guess I am too relaxed about it. Didn't mean to go on and on. Just wanted you to know you are not alone in this. |
Back in the early 90's I bought two yorkie puppies that were about 2 weeks apart in age. Boy I sure didn't know what I had gotten myself into :) I had dogs my whole life but this was my first yorkies, lol. They made me cry so many times. I just didn't know what to do. So my dad offerred to take care of them for a week while I was on vacation. He POTTY Trained them with ease. His big secret? He yells DOG OUT!!! while standing at the front door and they'd come running. They catch on to the FUN quickly. Go outside with them and keep the excitment up at all costs. I take pups out about 10 minute after eating and then once an hour during playtime. They gotta pee before they get to run everywhere. I have found that having one person to mainly do dog out is the way to go at first. Having said that, my Ben still has accidents. He has IBD and had lots of accidents. When he finally got better, I made the mistake of saying good boy when he poo'd in the bathroom. So he thinks that my bathroom is the place to poo. But overall he does good 95% of the time |
Potty Training Hello! I'm new to the forum. I have a little girl just over a year old. She is the first little dog we've ever owned. Our last dog was 125 lb rottie! She is so smart, sometimes I think too smart! We have potty trained her to go on pads in the house. We live in a rural area and don't really have fenced yards. She is trained. She knows where to go. When I take her with us I use the pads and she knows to use them after I show her where. Could these accidents be an emotional issue? Like she isn't getting enough attention, etc.? I work from home and she is with my partner and I all day. If she wants to play or something she comes and barks at us! I wish I could understand her language!! Does anyone have any hints or ideas about how we might stop the "accidents" that I don't think are accidents? I understand Yorkies are prone to having problems with potty training, but does anyone have any insights? Thank you!!! |

Our potty issues We bought our yorkie at a pet store and and he is just 2 months old. We have been trying everything that we can think of. We don't have a create, but we use a kennel. We have tried allot of tips and still our husker is stubborn. We want any bit of help we can get so please any suggestions. |

When he does go where you want give him a Potty treat ( a treat he loves only for when he goes in the right place ). I hope this will help you a little. |
Re: potty issues Also IF you take him out and he does not go you put him in the kennel/crate for a few minutes 2/3 and then take him back out. Thanks for the advice Daisy. See im in the military and have a young son(he's 3) so the 2/3 may not exactly fit in. Is there another helpful thip to those who can't give that constant? |

Your Kennel is a inside one right? If you can't do that then hold him don't let him run free in the house till he goes outside. |
Being from a pet store, they learn to pee in the cage. If your kennel is a big one it might confuse him if u leave him in there and he potties in it. My suggestion is to buy a small portable crate that is only big enough for him lay down in. You simply can not leave him in the crate for hours at a time. If u have the ability, I would try letting him out with you in the house, putting a harness on him and then a leash, I would step on the leash end when he tries to run off and get his attention to keep him with you. Make sure you are taking him out every 30 min or more if necessary. I had one yorkie that I did this with and it did help. Make dog out a big fun game helps too. |
