Signed up recently :] :D:DHello!! My name is Tiffany and I've just signed up for YorkieTalk recently. I'm adopting my yorkie in August and have already 'puppified' my home. :aimeeyork I plan to crate train. Any tips and personal experiences would help mucho. Thanks! xoxo |
Hello and Welcome to YT!! :welcome4: My yorkie was 10 months old when I got him, so I don't have much advice about new puppies, but this is the best place for info for sure! |
Thank you:) |
Hi! :wavey: :welcome4: I bet August can't get here soon enough for you, huh? :p |
Thank you! :D And you are soo right. I've been getting ready for the pup for an insanely long time :rolleyes: |
Just be very very careful....they are addicting :D I only crated mine at night so I knew they were safe. I really can't help with that. Just wanted to wish you much luck with your new baby. Before you know it August will be here and you will wonder what you ever did without your baby. Post pictures can't wait to see your little one. Welcome..you will find very helpful information on anything you have a problem with here on YT. It has helped me immensely :yorkietal :woof::woof: :welcome4: |
I'm actually visiting the breeder tomorrow :p I'm so excited! I'll take pictures of the environment and upload them tomorrow or Saturday. :thumbs up |
Hi welcome to Yorkietalk, good for you for checking out the breeder's home and environment where puppies are raised. If it's an experienced breeder, she can be very useful in helping you with any questions you have regarding grooming, feeding, and training. We crated Joey overnight, and found that a small crate worked immediately. I would still have to place him on a pad every 3 or so hours, and in the morning first thing, I would carry him outside. During the day he was kept in a pen with a pad, and learned quickly to use that. He was only out of the pen when I could watch him completely, and we had several pads in the room so he didn't have to go far to find one. We actually had very few accidents doing it this way, but I suggest getting a gallon of Nature's Miracle and clean up any accidents, following directions. If you don't remove all the urine odor, they are compelled to return to the spot, that's why pee pads work, there is a slight urine odor in them. If the crate is too big, they will think of it as an apartment instead of a bed, and pee on one side. Some people suggest partitioning off a large crate with boxes, so there is just enough room to stand up and turn around. Best of luck! |
Hi and congrats on getting a new pup!! Can't wait to see pictures. Nice name by the way!! :p:D |
Joey sounds like a very intelligent YT!!:) Thanks for the advice. I already wrote 2 pages of questions for her, questioning A LOT of topics. :p I hope everything goes well in the process of training. I'll post up updates and pictures. Thanks for the support:thumbup: |
