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. |
