Roxie's trained as long as I make sure she goes outside. If I slack she slacks. Personally I think she could care less as long as she goes when she feels the urge. I will live in a carpet free environment as long as I own a yorkie. She isn't the type of dog to run to the door and tell me she has to go out. I have learned her body language though and know when she's gotta go. It's been one of the differences between a small dog and big dog. Any of the big dogs I ever had as a pet never had accidents in the house. I love my Roxie so much that I'll just make sure to not have carpet and keep doors closed to rooms that do.

LMAO!!!! I'm in the same boat.

We adopted our Yorkie at the age of 4yrs and house trained her at that time. She is 100% house trained.

Bailey is 99.9% pee pad trained

He will sometimes be having a poop on the pee pad and walk off it before he is finished, lol, but the majority of the time he is perfect, he is 29 weeks old. He even uses the pad over at my bf`s house, I`m very proud of him

That's another reason that I love pad training. I went out of town for a month and just had my neighbor watch my 2. I bought a couple bags of pads and that was it. She didn't have to take them out to potty. She really appreciated that because it was rainy almost the entire time I was gone. She said they used the pads everytime. This makes me feel better about bringing my 2 along with me places. I wouldn't want them messin up someones home.

My 5 month old has been accident free for the last several weeks. Crossing all crossables on that one! The 1 year old we just adopted has only had one poop accident (our fault) and we've had him three days now. They both sleep through the night in their crates.

MyTobiBoy · 11-02-2009, 06:31 PM

Tobi is bell and litter boxed trained. I have read the posts and some say they miss the pad or have an accident due to owner fault, Tobi misses his box sometimes when he goes finish up (poop). He rings his bell for the same reasons as mentioned, to go out and pee, to see what is going on outside, just being nosey. I thought I would never get him this trained....it is great, however, due to his chewing and scratching, he is stays in his house while we are at work. He is a great boy and I love him to pieces!!

I am with you on this one. If they make an effort to get to the potty pad, even if they miss, I am going to give her credit .

Buster will be two next month and Maggie is one and both are closing to be 100% trained, however, I have come home many times and found a "surprise". I have a doggie door but if they are upstairs and can't downstairs quick enough, they will go. They both pretty much go outside but I wish they were pad trained. When it's cold and rainy they don't like to go out...I wouldn't either.

cindymevers · 11-02-2009, 07:57 PM

I would love to brag and say Lexie is 100% housebroken, but then I would just jinx myself! Accidents by the back door do not count because this is where she goes to be let out. That would be my fault for not watching. She is doing great so far and at almost 9 months I won't complain.

I still crate her when I am gone or when we go to bed. She sleeps all night and gets up when we let her out. She has made great strides the last month or so. Good puppy even with inexperienced Yorkie people.

I hung it right at nose length- even if she plays with it- as SOON as you hear it- tell her good girl and take her outside- This is the only way she will put two and two together. Once you take her out- use whatever you say to her to get her to potty (we say hurry up) if she goes- huge party- if not- that's ok too. she understood that ringing the bell got her outside- and once there- your expectation was that she pee/poop.

ok thanks I am going to get a bell out of the christmas box very soon and hang it up. You sound like a Tamar Geller fan, we have huge parties too!

Do you mind if I ask how old he is? Also, did training him to both go out and use the litter box confuse him?
