New owner with questions I bought Sambo almost two months ago and have not had much luck house breaking him. I have been using a crate during the night and when I have to go into town. I have him on a routine of eating, playing and going out to potty but he is still going potty on the floor. I've bought puppy pads but it seems Sambo prefers the floor. Also he has a problem with nipping, I have a 10 month old child and he has become scared of Sambo because he is always jumping up and biting. Other than that he has good manners, can sit, stay and lay down....any help you can offer please. Oh he's now almost 5 months old. |

Bless you, Yorkie Talker, for taking on a 5 month old Yorkie along with your 10 month old son! That's two babies at once, no mistake. Without insulting human babies in any way, I do want to make the point that the puppy will need A LOT of focus if he's to get potty trained. As I hope you knew before you got a Yorkie puppy, small breeds are notoriously hard to potty train. I'm not sure if it's their small bladder size, or if it's that since it's such a SMALL puddle we don't get that upset... but they are. They take CONSISTENCY in potty schedule, and FOCUS when not confined. You have to take the attitude that every accident is YOUR fault because you either weren't paying attention to the signals, or you let more than 60-90 minutes go by without taking him outside. On the other hand, our 14 week old sleeps through most nights because he sleeps in the bed with us. If he has to go, he gets up and yips, and I take him to a piddle pad. After that, he settles right back down. But there are still lots of piddle accidents in the house if I get in the least distracted from his schedule. |
Thank you, yes I took on alot when I got Sambo but if you had seen the conditions he was living in. There was no way I could walk away from him, I knew it would be hard raising two babies by myself but well worth it. Sambo does sleep all night though, I take him to potty then place him in his crate. I let him spend the first few nights in my bed but I kept waking him up when I had to nurse my other son. I just feel guilty letting him out for small periods then putting back in the crate. I'm using a potty, feeding and play schedule but want him out longer. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement.

Thanks you for advice! I got rid of annoying green adds! :) |
