Take Maya Please
 

She's really cute, and still a baby. There is hope. Be patient, firm, and consistent with training.

I will try...but for some reason these past couple of days.......

Aww honey you will be fine. We usually struggle with them until about a year old ..maybe a bit longer. My Lulu was trained fully and trust worthy by eight months. Now Zoey is thirteen and will still slip here and there. I also have Toby who is almost seven months....he is a work in progress but doing ok.

You just have to be patient...god knows that is hard. Consistent is also a must. Also please don't over baby them now that the weather is changing. If your training for outside keep up with it just dress them warmly.

I know it is hard and believe me i have 6 babies 3 adults and 3 4 month olds and i have had yorkies for years they are stubborn but this is what i do and works every time.. go to toys R us or Kmart get the childrens Play Yard it has no bottom.. in one corner put bed in the other put food and toys and down at that whole one end put Pee pads go to EZ WHelp and order the low cost washable pads to save money.. anyway put that where she can see you and you see her leave her there when you cant watch her and when you do see her pee on the pads praise her very well... you can not let them run every where and you do have to remember they are babies you dont expect a human baby to know to go to the potty at 4 months .. you will do fine good luck..:animal36

See i think that is part of the issue. Miss thang just stands on the deck and looks at the yard. IF I pick her up and put her there, she goes back to the deck. She hasn't used it on the deck, just that one day. THen just won't do anything, and then goes inside the house :mad:

I tell you I just had to put her in the laundry room and walk away this morning

I feel like a failure right about now. I fully expect all of this to get better when I am retired and home.

Ok who is doing that at your house????

I'm going to take a picture of her set up when I get home and you tell me what you think.

No

Not that face...I don't believe it;)

Have you tried Pee Pads?

LOL that sounds alot like my precious boy Bobby. He needs 100% of my attention at all time :)

She uses it, then if she has to go again, she is likely to use the floor.

How old is she? Lily was bad until about 6 months old then she got alot better little bit at a time. She is only 7 months now but she does go on pee pad most of the time now!! FINALLY!!! She climbed out of the baby expens and over baby gates!! I leave her loose in the house by herself now and close doors on most rooms and she just sleeps for the most part when I leave her. I don't work anymore so it isn't like she is left every day but when I do have to leave her it is hours sometimes and so far she has done great!! I tried and tried to "MAKE HER STAY in a confined area" but she just wouldn't and I closed her in the bathroom before and she cried and cried so i finally just left her go one day and she did fine and I have done that ever since. She has pretty much run of the house now and she does real good??? I don't know if males are different or not?? I do know that "Yorkies" are different than any other dog I have ever owned!!lol It is a good thing for her that I love her cause she is a tough one!!!lol

Lilly sure is cute

and to answer your question, my little terror will be 6 months on Nov. 3

Yeah that :) :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I completely understand what you're going through! We'd keep him in a room w/ linoleum while at work w/ a pee pad by the door. After he hadn't gotten the pee pad down pat at 5/6 months, I eventually just reverted back to when he was 10 weeks old and started taking him outside every 2 hours again. We'd manually have him scratch the door w/ his paw before we'd go out. Then one day I was cooking supper and he went to the door and scratched himself! It was a miracle! Then he'd revert back and have a bad couple days then start scratching at the door again. Until he was almost 1!!!!

I was so against the dog using the deck as a toilet, but then I would rather that then in the house so when he actually started making it to the deck I was thrilled! We just slowly moved it to the grass!

One day though... I know it won't be soon enough, she'll just suddenly get it! Promise!!!

Be glad that you don't have a boy who is potty trained completely... except to mark his corners... belly bands have solved that for me! I think we're about to be free of belly bands too!

Just keep it up, Remember you love your baby and she loves you even more even though you are really frustrated at times!!!

I don't care any more where she goes outside... as long as it's outside. I figure it's at least a step in the right direction. She always poops right in front of the garage door and usually pees on the sidewalk. A couple of times it was even on the garage floor on the way outside. I figure even that was progress.
