Have you ever been really upset with your Yorkie?

Then if that doesn't work he starts barking up a storm. I get so mad at him sometimes because I live in an apt. building..he can't be loud like that! Well sometimes when I leave he gets so mad that he has jumped on my bed and pooped on it, on purpose I believe. Well now too bad for him- when I go out I always put a diaper on him. He hates it but now he has to deal with it, because I can't trust him anymore. He has done it way more than once! That's the only thing that has gotten me so mad.

Sounds like Teddy won the battle, but lost the war.

oh, I have been FURIOUS with both of my boys...I've had the terrible habit of yelling when I get angry...always have had anger issues. There was one time that I hit Joey, and he actually cried. Talk about guilt...I felt so terrible I cried and cuddled him. My boys are not spanked at all anymore, but I do sometimes lose my temper, and I do yell...they just feel so bad for making mommy mad, then they have their little sad faces, and I can't help but feel terrible for being angry with them at all. We haven't had any serious issues lately though, so that's good.

The next day she came to get me to show me she had pooped on the pad I praised her and rewarded her with her favorite treat before I went potty.....

I came out to a still steaming puddle of p*ss in front of the door !!!

- I love it!

Ok, I know I am going to really catch it from most of you on here, but I will admit it anyway.

I took my Maddie out to potty. It was in the morning, so I knew she had to pee. Nope. Won't go. You can't make me. Well, I had to go! We went back in the house, I went potty and came out to find that she had peed on my bed. On top of my comforter. Not only that, after she peed she walked through it and left wet footprints all the way across the bed to where she was laying.

Maddie is 2. She does not let us know she has to go out, but we consistantly take her out and she wasn't having many accidents, but would still go in the house if the urge hit her.

I admit, I was really MAD. I resorted to the old school way. I picked up her, held her nose to the pee spot (not touching it) and proceeded to spank her bottom and tell her NO. NO POTTY INSIDE. POTTY OUTSIDE. That was 4 months ago and she has not had an accident since. She actually has started barking at the door and when we take her out, even if it isn't when we think she needs to go out again, she will go. Otherwise we still just take her out every 4 hours or so whether she barks or not.

Okay.... let me have it...

Yesterday I was FURIOUS with Snickers. I’ve had my babyboy for 1.5 yrs and he has done some things that make me mad, but yesterday topped it all!

Snickers has been potty trained for about 5-6 months now. He does have a random poop in the house form time to time while we are at work and we don’t get mad-he’s only 3.5lbs and his lil bod just can’t hold it. He RARELY pee’s in the house.

Yesterday I came home to a sticky, dried up puddle of pee in my kitchen on the hardwood. Not only did he pee after he wasn’t even alone for 2.5 hours, he STEPPED IN IT and decided to walk all around my kitchen with his PEE FEET! I’m, not even sure if he went into the carpeted areas but I had pee prints all over the kitchen. I WAS LIVID!!! I YELLED AT SNICK and said NO NO NO POTTY IN THE HOUSE! I brought him over to show him why I was mad and we wouldn’t look at me in the face nor would he look at his puddle---HE KNEW WHAT HE DID! I put him down and yelled a bit more and he just hit in his deep bed with his head down. I had to SCRUB for an hour…I was grossed out and MAD! And of course had to wash his feet, I think that was punishment enough for him LOL. I was SO MAD, but got over it after about 15 min when I saw his little face come into our bedroom and looking at me all worried. That face made me melt and I gobbled him up. Now that I think about it, it is really no big deal…all part of having a pet!!

I WAS LIVIDDDDDDDDD!!! Thanks for letting me share and release!!!!
I'm all better now

The worst though is if she poops first; then it's impossible to get a pee out of her, even though I know she needs to!!!

In the morning, if i take my Maddie out she always pees and poops first thing. But if she poops first, she looks at me all proud of herself, "see, I did it. I'm done. I'm a good girl". I have to pick her up, take her in the house, then take her back outside so we can start the process over again and let her pee. I use an x-pen to put her in for pottying so she doesn't get as distracted.

On a side note.... does anyone happen to know exactly what a blade of grass must smell like before it is deemed worthy enought for a Yorkie to poop upon it? My Maddie will be circling, sniffing, pacing, sniffing with poop just about to fall out of her furbutt and still looking for the perfect blade of grass......

Yep I've had that happen before as well. I think I was in shock the first time that Sasha did it. I always refer to him as the "good child" because he was much easier to house train than my other one. However every once in a blue moon when Sasha feels like he's not getting enough attention he'll decide that peeing on something is the way to get my attention, LOL!

OMG, you get 4 hours out of her - I would love to have 4 hours of not having to worry about whether mine (she's 3) has to pee or not - if we're home, it's outside every 2 hours, just to make sure and she'll usually go. At night she'll hold it 5 hours (so of course I'm up at midnight taking her out!!)

[Maddie23]

OMG I am lucky then! She will go anywhere from 9 p.m. until 7:30 a.m. during the week to as late as 9:00 a.m. on weekends without going. She sleeps in her plastic travel crate on my bed at night and on occasion she has whined at night to go potty but very seldom. She weighs about 7lb so don't know if this makes a difference.

[DvlshAngel985]

I guess we've all had those moments.
When Kaji and I still lived in Irvine, I had a partime in the afternoon. He knew when it was time to go to work and an hour before he would do his "mommy please don't go" routine. It usually was just him wanting to be held and be by my side. He would put his little paws on my legs and whine.
Well, on one day he did his mommy don't go routine and when he saw that didn't work, he stood right on my leg and peed. He danced for a second. Of course I put him in his pen, changed and left. When I got home the first thing I do is take him outside. I was getting him ready when my roomie's dog came into my room and ran under my bed. It wouldn't be a problem but I'm allergic to her. She was rubbing her dander and hair all over and stirring all the dust from under the bed. So I'm having a sneezing fit, and I turn my focus from Kaji to the other dog trying to get her out of my room. Kaji didn't like this at all and when the other dog was out of my room I turned my focus to him again and he stood with his two front legs on my leg and peed again. He marked me and I swear he smiled!! I was so mad, but I just picked him up, marched outside put him right in the grass and said "PEE PEE HERE!!!" I didn't let him move from that spot till he did. Of course, now he's scared and when he's scared that he made a mistake he doesn't pee. So we stood there in the cold for a very long time.
He pouted the rest of the night like I was the meanest mommy in the world.

My Lexie weighs 7# too, so is a good size. You are so lucky that she'll go that long for you at night. I have her in the smallest crate available (that she can get comfortable and turn around in) thinking, as they say, a dog won't go where she sleeps - well, that doesn't work for me, - she'll go in the furthest back corner and then will cover the area up with her towel or whatever I have in there with her. I tell my husband we just have a potty-challenged dog and I picked her, so I'll deal with her.

[Chrisann]

Oh crickey don't they just challenge us...Yes I have got angry with Dustie on occasions...and usually just put him in his pen and ignore him for a while...mainly so I can calm down lol

But do they ever really care if they are naughty..I don't think so really...!!!

And who gets the most upset the dog or us....I think we all know that one don't we..

Chris...x

[Pam Campbell]

Not yet! Surely everyone else in my home has but not there momma. In my eyes they do no wrong! LOL! No kidding! Maybe one of these days they will challenge me with something but hasn't happened yet.

[Lindsays Mama 2]

The other day Contessa climbed into my lap trying to kiss me and Lindsays poop was being chewed and on her face. After I cleaner up, I gave her a firm no. I usually get it right off the pad. She got it 1st. Yuck!

[spiritwings1202]

Daisy purposly wakes up Pixie in the middle of the night! Pixie would sleep through the night but Daisy for some reason tries to wake her up. she will stand infront of Pixie crate and shake or whine around 12:30 am and then Pixie wants to get up so I get Pixie up to pee and Daisy will try and get Pixie going like common don't go back to sleep. sometimes I just get so frustrated I will Scold Daisy and tell Her NO! Go to bed!!! Then she looks up at me with her big brown eyes that look right through you and I feel like such a witch.
She doesn't always do it but she tries once in a while!!
