Need information What does everyone think. As I have posted before. I had to let my Dusty go back to his first mommy because my husband had enough of him going potty in the house. Anyway my sister in law said she would give him back to me because of work and not being at home. My husband said no (mean old man) I am trying to convince him I can do things different. So now for my question. Do ya'll think that if I tried to keep a full diaper on him at all times that he would eventually stop trying to mark everything? How many uses a full diaper? I would use a belly band but he liked to go poop in my little girls closet so I thought the diaper would be better. I have until Christmas to convince my husband. I cant stand the thought of him going to live with a stranger. |
I kind of remember your situation..how old is he? You can always start over from square one, until he's housebroken, you have to keep him confined! |
If he goes poop in daughter's closet, put a pee pad in there, then you can start moving it.... Just my 2:money: :D |
Is he neutered? That could help a lot with the marking in the house. I don't recommend a full diaper where they go poop in them...That just doesn't seem like a good idea. But belly bands would work nicely. At least with poop, it is easy to pick up. My suggestion would be to keep your daughter's closet door closed if that's where he poops...in fact, keep all the doors in the house closed so he's confined to only certain areas of the house. |
They can be stubborn, but are you giving the pup too much free space? Have you tried putting him on a schedule? He/she should be kept to a small area with the pad and trained to go there.. once that is mastered.. give a little more freedom. My mom has 3 yorkies and 1 in diapers 24/7 due to his meds... he pees constantly. She changes him about twice a day. She does cut a hole for the poopie since he does manage to keep that to the outside. I hope he lets you try again... |
Sometimes their so stubborn. I think the diaper would help a lot. Maybe your hubby will give you a trial run before Christmas. |
I always caution new puppy enquirers that the Yorkie and often any of the Toy breeds such as Chi's, toy poodles, etc may not be the right breed for them particularly if potty issues are a problem for any member of the family. The #1 reason for returning or rehoming a Yorkie puppy is inability to housebreak. I have seen them rehomed at even two years old. Given your husbands reluctance to have this dog in the house, I would suggest finding a whole new home for it. It isn't going to work out with you and I would rather see him in a home that can handle these issues. The more wound up you get over potty issues, the more sensitive the dog is and the more likely there will be marking and accidents. Before one of my puppies goes to a new home, the whole family has to be enthusiastic and they are well informed about all aspects of Yorkie ownership, upside as well as the downside. |

Someone told me once and I tend to agree that if you had a Great Dane that was not potty trained they would learn quickly....or should I say you would teach them quickly. But when you get a dog as small as a yorkie a tiny pee or poop to clean up seems like nothing so you let them run and they get to think it's ok. Also no matter what you use for cleaning they seem to find that spot. I tend to agree with Lorraine but if you think you can train your hubby to understand and be patient, then it may work. Good Luck!! |
I want to try again. Quote:

That being said, if you decide to go ahead with it, I do wish you luck. Also, send me a pm, I have the lowdown on great diapers for yorkies Bernie used to wear diapers...not for potty training, for neurological reasons. I'd hate to see anyone go through the expense I went through looking for the perfect diaper, when I've found it. :) |

to change his mind I don't think experimenting is really in the best interest of the dog. And that is what this needs to be about...I have yorkie's as old as 3 years old that still have the occassional accident. Do I like it NOOO but the one thing my husband and I both share is we enjoy them in our lives so much that we can overlook the negative issues just the same as we did with our not perfect children. There are many other breeds out there that might be a better match up for your family and instead of getting your heart so attached and then not having it work out I'd say look at the options of finding a new family member that is loved equally by all from day one. Good luck to you and your family! |
