Area Rug's & Yorkies? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We recently got rid of our area rugs. Not only were my girls peeing on them, but they would shred the little tassels on the edges.

Scrappy pees on, and eats and scratches and yank/drags at any rug he possibly can... including carpet - but he's still a baby. I hope that maybe when he's older he'll get over it.

I am just wondering if purchasing this is a bad idea? Anyone have are rugs on their tile floors?

I haven't read the other replys so I'm sure you've already heard this, but NO yorkies and throw rugs are not a good match

in fact I've found that dogs of any kind and rugs are not a good match! I've finally given up on having them in my house. I do have the ones you can wash in my kitchen, but I'm about tired of washing those so they may go too!

My 13 wk old yorkie still working on the potty pads and see that she is fine till I turn my back then she will go on the rug. I get tired of the clean up. My other one doesn't do that. I'm hoping when she can go outside and it gets warmer she will leave the rugs alone.

Area rugs are like cushy pee pads to some of them...like Miss Zoey. Hopefully we get her housetraining done soon. I watch her behind like a hawk near the few that we do have. She loves the scatter rugs in the bathroom.

Finally I have an answer to who has been peeing on my bathroom rug....I wasn't sure if it was the yorkies or the cats.....hhhmmmmm....I do believe I have my answer...little stinkers!!!

Nopr don't mix. Had to throw mine away Sophie had this fascination with peeing on it.

celstu1 · 02-19-2008, 01:23 PM

I had to throw away a GORGEOUS rug bc my boys just demolished it. I think it was wool though. Maybe a synthetic one will be better... not sure! I do have a rug by the door that I do have to wash about once a week bc they pee on it!

My boys are just peers though! They pee EVERYWHERE!!!

Bellepoupee · 02-19-2008, 01:23 PM

Mine doesn't pee on my rugs anymore when he was a puppy he did it a few times now he goes on his pee pad... I cannot wait until summer - NO MORE SNOW!!!

Chrissy0277 · 02-19-2008, 01:41 PM

Mine all pee on the bathroom mat and the kitchen rug under the sink. I just wash them all the time it was a loosing battle lol

OK for all those babies that pee on the throw rugs and then you got rid of them...did the peeing stop in the house or did they just find another place to pee?
