No Accidents In 24 Accidents!!!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

just wanted to share that Cody and I are working very hard on potty training. My last post I was so frustrated not knowing if I was doing it right since Cody kept having accidents. Well, I think I am learning his cues and he mine. I was making one huge mistake and that was taking the divider panel out of the crate at night because I was afraid that he might not be comfortable and I wanted him to be able to walk around and play if he was not sleepy. So when I would get up in the morning I would find poop on one side and Cody lying down on the other. So last night, before going to bed, I put up the divider panel, still giving room but not enough for him to poop and lay down. That was at 10pm, woke up at 6am and no mess

. I wonder if 8 hours is too long? I was setting my alarm to go off every 2 hours and I guess that is why I was so cranky!!! and still, if I get up in the middle of the night I will go to Cody and take him out to potty and feed him a little. Last night i was just exhausted and slept till 6 am.
And about his ears, I tried taping them for a couple of hours and even though he hated it, boy did he hate it, it sort of worked, I removed them because he would keep rubbing his head on the rug trying to take them off. amazingly enough, when I removed the tape his right ear stood up and his left had a floppy tip!!! So when I go to work tonight I am going to pick up some surgical tape and try again only keep it on for 3 days and see how it goes. This morning his ears were floppy again!!! soooo cute. Hey Brooke18, thank you for being you!!!!You have helped me a great deal!!! Who knows, maybe someday Chewie, Sadie and Cody will meet and become best of friends!!!!

Congratulations! It sounds like you are well on the way to tackling this potty training thing. Just becoming attuned to cues is most of the battle. Good luck!

Oh Yay! That's great! Potty training can be so frustrating sometimes but it will be well worth it.
