Really confused! so im sad to say that i sold my yorkie yesterday.:( my son was allergic to him and was breaking out with eczema all over his body. Well anyways my yorkie always peed and pooped on his pad at home. For some reason the buyer called me today and told me that he seemed to be peeing and pooping everywhere and not on his pad. The buyer thinks that i lied to them about him being potty trained. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? :confused: |

I am sorry your son is allergic and you had to re-home your Yorkie. He is out of his element. New home, new mom...its takes a while to adjust. He needs time. |
It may be because he is in new surroundings. Max is like that and I am working on it. He was completely potty trained before but when he came to my house he thought it was ok to poo in the house (and mark before neutering), and he still does. Make sure she is praising him when he goes outside and ignoring the inside accidents. She needs to limit his freedom to where she can see him at all times or else he goes in the crate/exercise pen. Also he should be on a schedule of when to go out. She needs to be persistent and not give up. Vanessa |
They some times do this because it new surrounding. Tell her she need to give him time to settle in. |
The funny this is she thinks that i lied to her and i told her maybe because hes in a new place. She told me she called the vet and the vet told her that if the puppy was truely potty trained it should know the pad...:confused: |
He has only been there for a day! That's really sad that the person you sold him to is getting frustrated already. :( |
Allergic to a yorkie??? How did you find out he was allergic to the yorkie? I thought yorkies were ok for people allergic.:aimeeyork |
When I got Pebbles, I almost thought the same thing about the lady who re-homed her to me. She was peeing on the carpet like crazy. But Pebs was so disoriented in the beginning & it took time for her to feel comfortable in her new surroundings. The day I heard her make a BIG sigh!! I knew she felt like she was home. That was atleast a month & 1/2 of time. She is not 100% good, so the girls are kept in the kitchen when we're gone long periods. Hopefully the new people will realize that their new doggie doesn't even know them yet & that they will have to work with him and love him alot. |
The dog's life dramatically change due to getting a new owner, so the dog needs some time to settle into the new owner's routine. Does the owner place the pads in the same places you would put the pads in your house? I put my dogs' pad in my closet. Even if I put a pad in the middle of my room, my dogs prefer to use the pad in my closet. They know that the pads are use for them to go potty, because they use them when I put them on the pad and say go potty. Just a suggestion, maybe the new owner could place the pad where you put them in your house. Once he gets use to pottying on the pads again, then she can move them to a place she prefers the dog to potty. |

I think there is different kinds of allergic. Maybe they say that yorkies are good for people with allergies because other dogs make them sneeze and makes their eyes water. If you have an allergic reaction such as a skin issue that's different. My daughter is also allergic to dogs that shed because of the sneezing issue. She is not allergic to my three babies but when she goes to her friends house who has a german shepherd she needs benedryl. Sorry to hear about your situation. I'm sure your baby will adjust but the new owner has to have patience. He has to adjust to his new surroundings. Sure hope all goes well for the little baby. :aimeeyorkCOCO :aimeeyorkPEBBLES :aimeeyorkTRIXIE |
Aww the poor baby just needs time to adjust and settle in. Twinkle uses the pads at my house, but if I take her to my mum's for the day and put a pad down there, she doesn't always use it, and that's a place she's been loads of time since we brought her home....I'm sure if I took her to a strange location and expected her to go on a pad i'd be sorely disappointed! The new owners need to have patience, perseverance, and possible a new vet:p I'm sorry to hear that you had to give up your baby, and I hope your son's eczma clears up soon - I know first hand what an uncomfortable condition it can be. xxx xxx |

I just want to clarify my post. I do not think I explained correctly what I was trying to say. I wonder sometimes if dogs get use to pottying on the pads due to the location of the pads. For example, in my earlier post I said my dogs go potty on their washable mat in my closet even if one washable mat is closer to them. Maybe some dogs recognize the location in the house the owner taught them to go potty and not the mat. This idea is just a theory based on my dogs' behavior. If I want to move the mats, then I have to reteach my dogs to go potty somewhere else. I have to show my dogs where the washable mat is located, and I have to tell them to go potty on the mat ten to thirty minutes after my dog eats for a week. The new owner has to show the dog where to potty, because the environment is different. Maybe the new owner could place the washable pads in the same rooms you paced them to help the dog transition to her new home. |

So I think you're absolutely right about potty training. The dog has to learn how to do it correctly everywhere. Once he's proofed, though, they're home free. |
