How does your furbabies tell you when they have to potty? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I get the stare. They both will come sit in front of me and just stare at me. Minnie will then sit pretty/ begging and Mickey gets to shaking, they wont take their eyes off me. and I say gotta go pee ? and they both run to the door.

Sawyer runs and hits a brass planter I have by the door, as we have tile floors, it gets really loud.

Alyssa goes and stands at the front door. When I notice her I will say "let's go potty." She immediately runs to the back door to go outside. Emmy is just learning to communicate. I take her out about every 2 hours when I am home. When I am gone she uses the potty pad. She has not learned to communicate when she needs to go.

We have poochie bells. This works great, especially when we are upstairs, we can hear the bells ringing

Well mine are all different, first I have a doggie door, but if it is closed with weather or at night....

One goes to the door, so I need to see him,,he is good but makes no sounds..he knows how to paw at the food dish when it is empty though, go figure..

One that goes out the door door well, but when it is closed, she will go if I am not paying attention..

One whines to go out, always was great, will wake us in the night if need be and will not let up..I wish they all were like that...lol

Then I have one that is in training, goes outside to pp a pretty good now..but will still have accidents...but many times go pp out side then comes in a poops on the kitchen carpet..we need to work on the more..

So I have my computer close by the door, makes it easier..

Deiter runs and pounces on my chest. And when we are sleeping he gives kisses.
Cozmo he does nothing. You just have to take him out.

If London is on the bed she will bark to get down to pee or poop. Sophie will scratch on the side of the bed, but sometimes she has gone on the bed

Teddy will just jump down. They are all paper trained.

Elphaba is not quite 4 months old...about 3 weeks ago I put a bell hanging from a string on the front door. Every time I took her outside I made her ring the bell. Within three days she was doing it on her own. Thats at the front door. She'll also scratch at the backdoor. If I'm sitting at the kitchen table and dont notice it right away she'll give a little yelp and look at me. If I'm in the family room and didn't notice her at the back door, she runs to the front door and rings her bell...then she runs back to the back door.

And when she just wants to be outside she rings the front bell a LOT.....like every 5 minutes! But since she's telling me...every time she wants to go out we go out! I'm trying to teach her she doesnt necessarily go out the door she ASKS...but we also go outside when she asks.

Rosi will sit in front of me making these grunting noises and sits up or holds 1 leg up ! Apollo starts talking and throwing his head around and does this Tapdance with his front legs

mrlmonroe · 11-14-2007, 10:02 AM

I wish Jeanie would tell me......she doesn't ever tell us she has to Potty. We just take her out when she usually goes. She's got a real routine. But I think the reason she doesn't tell us is that we have always picked her up and taken her into the pen that she goes in. If she was just "let outside" I think it would be different.

Nonetheless, she doesn't have accidents.....so I guess she just waits till we put her out. Funny though....... ?????

erino77 · 11-14-2007, 10:05 AM

Koda will come up to us and tell us in his high pitch voice. then run to the door and sit there.
