Izzy does not want to come inside!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

kl1977 · 03-06-2008, 03:41 PM

We started taking Izzy outside on Saturday to begin going potty outside. This was the first time in her life that her paws touched the ground lol. Anyways everytime we try to come in I'll say "lets go in" and head to the steps she will just stop and lay down or pull against the harness. She loves it outside. We were out at least and hour or more today and she still didnt want to come. What do I do. Does anybody else have a yorkie that doesnt want to com in???

Mine too. I just keep on encouraging him to come in and tug at the leash a little bit otherwise he'd never want to come in.

Encourage her to come in with treats and always say come so she learns that command

I have the same problem with Leo. We just started letting him go out to go potty, but still have a potty pad inside. I have a bell on the door for him to ring. I swear he rings it all day long!! He loves to go out roam around for a few minutes and then the wants right back in. He is driving us crazy.

I told my husband that Leo needs a doggy door...so he can go in and out all day.LOL

my Roxy would practically live outside if I would let her

-- even on cold days (I'm in Iowa

) - she will sit out there and shiver some days - and I'll have to insist she comes in. The saving grace is I have a safe fenced in backyard, so I don't have to be out there with her - but once it gets nice & I have to go to work, it will be the biggest fight in the morning to get her to come in, so I can go to work -- when I first got the yorkies, I worked from home & she got used to being out there as much as she wanted - chasing squirrels

Callie absolutly loves it out side and we have a fenced in yard so when we got her we checked and closed any holes in the fence where she could get out and then would just let her out when she wanted to until she came back to the door and eventualy we got a doggy door and she loves to go out anytime she wants and back in whenever she wants.

Lola and Izzy love to play in the snow together. I have to force those 2 to come in. We have a large fenced in back yard, and they would stay out for hours if I let them!
