| I need opinions and/or help...... I've been thinking what if I didn't sale Cocoa but, had someone take him in and train him? Since I'm in school full time and have found it hard to train him with what little time I have that would be perfect so, I wouldn't have to sell him. I would pay of course (but, couldn't pay in one big lump sum). Is that even realistic? If so, are there any takers? |

| I hope someone can help you. It sounds like you really want to keep him. I wish I lived near, I would love to babysit/train him for you. I sooo want another yorkie, but have realised that two is all we can handle as we take them everywhere with us and if we had another they would have to stay home Good luck with finding someone to help you.

I'm sorry you are having trouble with Cocoa, and quite frankly cannot believe you cannot find him a great home, but I don't know if the training idea is a great one. First of all, he is a yorkie, and they just have a lot of personality (STUBBORN!) and energy...so he's not going to lose his energy. Also, for someone else to train him and then you to take over probably won't work because yorkies listen to who they're supposed to listen to and not others. Now, let me close by saying...I am not a trainer (NOR ANYWHERE CLOSE) and I've got two bratty little yorkies (who I love dearly), so I don't know..maybe the training would work?? I hope you get some more opinions on this and possibly someone to help you out. Good luck with Cocoa. I really wish you the best with him!

| I think that is a wonderful idea and I feel sure it would work. I hope you can find someone. Good luck!

| Is there any way you could have a trainer come to your house to work with you and Cocoa when your schedule permits? I feel like training is a personal thing, IMO and a bond that needs to be built between the owner and the dog. I don't know your schedule, but a lot of progress can be made working on training even a half hour a day. It may not be an instant change, but I'm sure things would improve. |

| I wish I could help, but I am no training expert. You know there are academys that you can take them two. They learn to be potty trained, and obedience stuff. Theres a lady near me that has a school like that and she does it out of her house. |

| How long would you be thinking someone would keep him with them? It just breaks my heart to see you struggling with him and not being able to find him a home after all this time.

| i think its honestly crazy you have not found him a home!! I mean you are doing all you can and only selling him for 350.00! I know this must be soo stressful!! please just be persistent and have patience and i know someone will take him. As for training him as far as your schedule goes i dont know what to say. i feel so bad for you and all your going through to better your life and i see your trying to better his life too! I wish a YTer would take him. this is just a option and i dont know if you want to but would you be about to rehome him for free to the right home of course after tons and tons of questioning the person? Just saying that might help you a little. Hopefully someone close will contact you! |

| I will have to look into that and see if there is anyone around here that does that. I know there are trainers who do private lessons. Thanks! |

| I guess just as long as it would take for him to calm down a little and learn to listen to me and sit and stuff. Thank you! |
