Hello and welcome to YT. My Baxter was a whirlwind at that age, but he has settled down into a loving and cuddling little guy. He is 14 months. As for potty training that came pretty natural, as we had another dog, who I think showed Baxter what he should do outside. So around 5-6 months, we could trust Baxter anywhere in the house. Just take time and it will happen. Again welcome |
Welcome! I am new to YT and new to yorkies too (have had bigger dogs all my life). As for potty training, mines 4 months and we have special treats she only gets when she goes outside. Once she goes she gets a VERY energetic "good girl" and we go right in for a treat, she dances on her hind leggs for it and it has worked pretty well so far. But with our weather going to 16 degrees in the mornings with this cold everyone seems to have she has reverted back to having more accidents inside. Also when I catch her in the house I clap loud to interupt and she will stop and we go right outside then she finished her business in the right area and we get a good girl and a treat. Patience is a must! It can be frustrating but there is hope. Merry Christmas! :gbhouse::xmastree1::santa3: |
Welcome to YT!!! I can't help you on the potty training as my 18 week old baby came potty trained she only uses it outside. She has had one or two accidents but I want to get her trained to a puppy pad also. She will only tear the puppy pads up. Good luck on the potty training!!! |
Yes, we are using a crate. He is doing really well with it but it seems like we really have to watch him every second he is out and running around. I have never seen a dog go potty so much!!! I really want to try to train him to bark or just go to the door when he needs to go out but it is not going very well |
Thanks for all of the great advice. I know it will take time and he is definitely worth it. We will just keep on working on it. Thanks again and Merry Christmas! |

My Husband and I are the proud owner of Gabby she is 5 months old and the best advice I can give you is Crate train Crate train Crate train boy am I glad I did I didnt understan it at first and but once I read on it and applied the traing with alot of treats and patience she did just fine we can leave her loose in the room when we leave and she goes on the pad Good luck:thumbup: |
