I have ZERO experience with pee pads, i think the poop belongs outside lol. When im not home the dogs in the crate, they dont wanna go in the crate unless they really have too. Make sure the crate is not too big or they will think they can go poo on one side and then lay on the other side.

I agree the poop belongs outside! LOL I have tried to teach her to do her business outside, but she acts like her little feet will get dirty. She is an odd ball!

Thank you for welcoming me to yorkie talk

Hi! and welcome!

My lil pixie is coming up to 7 months old too and sometimes she is very hyper, racing around, into everything, doesn't want be held and won't listen! other times she is quiet and clingy and just wants to be cuddled. it's all normal adolescent behaviour, she will calm down eventually! is that your yorkie in your avatar? she is very pretty!

My baby Paco has tried to jump out of my arms and has done so quite a few times. When he wants to pet or loved on he will come to us. otherwise Paco is on his own. I have two boys Paco and Diego and they run the house but they tire out and sleep good!! As far as potty training if it is a boy try the belly bands I have used that and it helps a whole lot!! for the females well just luck. both my girls have been very good. Hang in there they are alot of fun!!

She sounds like a Yorkie to me (hehehehe)

Here are my suggestions:

1. X-pen - I got this one at Walmart and if you do site to store the shipping is free. She should still be contained and this pen you can configure into all sorts of shapes and uses. Mine didn't have free run until they were 1.5 yrs. old.

2. Washable Pee Pads - I used these when my were into the confetti stage

- These solved that problem asap

3. Doggie Litter Boxes - I put the pee pads inside the boxes, it forces them to step into the box to do potty - not on the edge, etc...
(Purina Second Nature is the Brand of the Box that I have)

Best of luck!

Do you put the pee pads on top of the litter? Does the litter stink after they pee in it? Do you change ot often? Sorry for sounding dumb, but I am to this one too.

Thank you all for being such help!

Yes, that is the little monster. Thank you!

maybe if you got the doggie litter box and put the pads in that will cut down on accidents.

No litter at all, just the box.

Put the pads in the empty box.

Sorry what I wrote didn't make complete sense. But No I don't use the doggie litter, just the boxes. I put the pee pad inside the box, used an xpen to make their area small (with the box and food, water and toys inside) - that's how I trained them to use the box. I had to use the washable ones for about 6 months, after that back to the throw away ones and they didn't shred them anymore.

I know this will sound odd, but when they use the washable pee pads, will the washer smell like doggie pee? Do you need to handwash them, use special soap, or am I being a freak? LOL

Will the doggie pull and try to shred the washable pads as well?

Judy in Waco · 12-27-2007, 08:27 AM

I wash ours in a separate load and use regular detergent. I put in a couple of drops of bleach every three washes or so. So far I haven't had any issues with smell, but I rotate them out every day.

The ones I use are from Nancy - Little Bit (a YTer) and they would be very difficult to tear up!

Judy in Waco · 12-27-2007, 08:33 AM

Here's the link to Nancy's washable pads.

I have pee pad shredders, too (11 mo. & 7 mo). Changed to cloth ones. Now no shredding but they still like to drag them around away from the spot they need to be in. I have found a way to pin a ribbon onto the very edge of the pad and around a piece of furniture, etc. No more dragging around. Yes, they do miss the pad once in awhile, but at least they are trying which is a comfort for me. They are learning.
