she made me so p.o!
 

i have been trying to train princess to pee outside
she is 4 months as of the 16thi dont know how long it takes to potty train them. i bought her when she was 11 weeks old from a friend in a different state

anyway, she made me so mad last night
she wouldnt stop crying so i put her in the pantry and she was even worse!
i love her to death, shes so cute but she is so misbehaved!!! i opened the pantry to let her out and she had peed in there so i threw her outside all night
now i feel kind of guilty. it was kind of cold but she had her pillow and toy

is there any good ways of training her to not cry and pee?

Oh Shannon! Please don't throw her outside again. That is too much punishment for her and dangerous as well. Yorkies get tehir feelings very hurt with just a scolding or a time out in their crate. They are way too small to be out in the cold all night. She could get very sick. Four months is still young to be potty trained all the way. She is still a little baby. BTW I'm glad you stayed on Yorkie Talk.

Oh please don't throw her out side again over night, that can be very dangerous for them, ESPECIALLY in this cool weather! she is still VERY young to be housebroken, it can take SOME dogs up to 2 years or more! yorkies are also very sensitive, and have their feelings hurt easily. I'm really glad you decided to stay with us!

this is my first dog so i dont really know what to do when she does that
i just know that i need my sleep too and with her crying so much i cant sleep at all
gosh i thought this would be easy but after reading all these problems.. i wish i could return her or something. im not sure if i am ready to own one. i just know that theyre so cute and i love her to death! she does the cutest things

I suggest you get a book on Yorkies and start over.

For the sake of the pup, I want to encourage you to never leave her outside at night again. Is this the same pup that is a teacup? Tiny puppies can die from exposure and stress.

As far as potty training you need to try to crate train her if she will only be allowed to go outside. That takes a lot of patience so you might want to consider wee pad training instead.

Keep her in an expen (in the house!) with a nice warm bed, some toys, her food and a wee pad. When you catch her going potty on the wee pad tell her how good she is and love her up. If she misses, ignore it.

If she cries in her pen, ignore it b/c you will know she is in a safe, warm place. She is just lonely.

I hope this doesn't sound harsh, because it's not meant to. I just want to be honest. I know what you mean by their cuteness and the cute things that yorkies do, but I really think that you should have done more research on the breed before getting one and tossing it outside because the poor baby doesn't know about potty training. Would you expect an infant to be potty trained at 4 months??? It doesn't make sense. It doesn't come naturally for them, you have to TEACH them, and reward them. Not punish them for things they dont' know. She probably froze out there all night, poor thing. Crying is part of the deal of getting a puppy. Coco cried every hour for a month. I went to work like a zombie but I dealt with it because i accepted the responsibility. I think most people will agree that if you reallllly like your sleep, a puppy is NOT a good idea. It's like a baby. It needs attention and love and they get lonely at night. They get seperated from their moms so early and they just want to please and be loved. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but it broke my heart that this little girl was outside all night so you could sleep. The research should have been done ahead of time because the only one suffering is this poor pup. Once again, I'm not trying to be mean, but I just feel sorry for your puppy. She just doesn't know what you want.

well i am in the process of learning right now. that is why im signed up to this place to begin with!
yeah my princess is a teacup yorkie but she seems tougher than she looks
she didnt cry the first night at home but i have been spoiling her so much
i let her sleep in my bed the first 2 weeks i brought her home and then after i left her on a blanket by the nightstand to sleep and she keeps jumping up and down crying all night trying to get on the bed. i couldnt take it anymore last night so i threw her outside
i left her pillow so i dnt think she could have been too cold. i just dunno what to do with her anymore. i dont know what shes thinking or anything but i probably wont throw her outside again from what you guys are saying
its not like i leave her out there all day in the sun or anything.

4TheLuvofYorkie, The key for potty training is to be patience and consistent. I agreed with Eensor, please dont keep her outside all nite, Yorkies are indoors dogs and your little one can get very sick or being in danger outside. If she start crying all nite, tell her no and ignore her. If the crying is too much for you, place in a room with her bed, water, pee pad if you use those and close the door.Or maybe use a crate. Please be patience, she is only 4 months, she is young. If you are training to go outside take her often and praise her everytime she goes. You can even give her some treats. Good luck.

well i guess ill just have to wait for the crate than because i am broke. i do go to school you know. she costed me a lot of money and the rest i had left i just used it on carriers and cute doggy clothes. i bought her some toys and i gave her a pillow and one of my small blankets
i dont have pee pads or whatever

Oh Please do not put her out side. This is not how you train them. she will never learn any thing that way.Some Yorkie's can be more difficult then other breeds to house train. But they can be trained The key word Is patience,
Understanding and lots of encouragement. Start with potty training your yorkie right from the beginning. Remember
Puppy’s bladders are very very small and need to be emptied quite often. Take your puppy out every 30 minutes or when
he/she wakes up from it's nap, after vigorous play, Right after it's eaten, and the very fist thing in the morning. As soon as
you get home. Right before bed. Don't expect the puppy to be trained in a few hours or even a week, it takes time. I know some times it feels your not getting any where. But you will if you keep trying. Im not trying to be mean or any thing. But Maybe a Yorkie is not the type of dog for you.

Shannon, would you like to give her up to one of us? Most of us on YT have dealt with puppies before and have the money to take care of their needs. I can't take her right now because I have three at my house and I want to stay married. I'm sure there are YT'ers who would take her and love her. I'm not being mean to you, I just know how it is to be in school and to be broke. Has she been to the vet for her vaccines, etc? Have you gotten a price on getting her spayed. She is way to small to ever have puppies. It could kill her. Let me know if you want to surrender her and I will find her a home. Actually, I know of someone here in Illinois who wants a female. She came and looked at one of my puppies, but really wants a little girl. Just let me know. You can pm me if you like.

Just a though--why did you stop letting her sleep with you? It sounds like she wants to be with you again at night.

you threw her outside. atleast you admitted it. but gosh, for a 4 month old puppy peeing in your house? that goes along with owning a new puppy. i've never had any dog of mine completely potty trained at 4 months. and if i threw them all outside every time they piddled in my house then i would hope someone would throw me out with them...

just take a deep breath. get a new perspective on what your doing and gather all the newspaper you can get your hands on. i have better luck paper training at that young of an age and then gradually outside training, which they can and will do when they are mature enough to understand what you expect of them.

no i dont want to give her up. i love her to death and it took me a long time to save up for one. i paid 5000 for her and this was at a discount price because my friend said she was a teacup and she came from championlines or something
i would never ever give her up!
i dont let her sleep with me anymore because she's so tiny i dont want to roll over her and kill her

I will ditto what everyone said....PLEASE DO NOT put your yorkie outside at night !!! Ohio has COLD COLD nights and you could have killed her....I'm sorry to sound so blunt but I have a feeling you need to really re-think your choice of puppy... as yorkies are very much like human babies...are easily upset.. and can easily get sick from being left in the cold....Look at her life like this....She's been SOLD and taken away from her littermates - brought into a strange house and is being scolded for something she doesn't know how to do yet - Yorkies are trainable but you will never train her by being angry or locking her in pantrys or tossing her in the yard. I actually can't believe I read that.....

this post made ME want to cry.....

Mee too V :( :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown

This isn't adding up. How could a student spend $5000 on a Yorkie and not have enough money for a crate and pee pads? No one in their right mind would spend that kind of money on a dog and then throw it outside all night in the cold. The $5000 comment is making me wonder if we're being scammed again. I hope I'm wrong about this, but I have that hinky feeling.......

I did too...I really hope all this is not true because aside from an outrageous price - I keep seeing the word Teacup ....no one who love animals would EVER TOSS a dog out into the cold ....especially a 4 pound puppy.

Sorry if this sounds offensive ...but reading THAT post is offensive... and I am praying it's just someone who wants to get a reaction from everyone here. If that's true - you did. IF not....I really do hope someone steps in and saves that poor puppy before something terrible happens to her.

i have to agree with that

I didn't read any posts after this one of yours, but
I have a cryer also. He is also a mamma's boy and I have to hold him a lot (which I totally love). It takes tons of patience, sometimes more than I feel I have in me (not him alone, but all 3 puppies at once). Count to 10 and calm down. If you are stressed, your pup is going to be a stressed puppy. Put the crate by your bed on a nightstand or something and put your fingers in the crate to comfort him. I also say "hush" in a low, deep, calm tone and tap the top of the crate a little with my other hand so he doesn't think it is me. It is working out great now. You will find that if you hold her and cuddle her you will bond with her and wouldn't trade her for a million bucks. If you feel you just can't get in control of the situation, you may be right in thinking of returning her. Don't put her outside alone even if you aren't mad at her. She is just too young, still a baby. If you aren't consistent, she will have more troubles learning. I hope it works out for you. Please know that I am typing this in a gentle tone of voice.

I am absolutely shocked reading this post!!! How in the world
can you toss your baby outside and then go and crawl back
into bed and sleep?

double ditto.

let's all calm down though. this thread has me concerned and in a quandary.

4theluv...just know that this is a good site to find another owner for the sweet baby if you decide she is more than you can handle. These dogs require a lot of time and expense and no matter what you paid, she will continue to cost you money. and time. and sleep. and patience. and and and.

if you still want to keep her, look around your house for a safe, clean dry room for her. make it her place and as Yorkiemom suggested, use newspaper and teach her to potty on that first.

Right now the main thing is this little dogs safely. We will be here to help with the rest.

I JUST Found this by this SAME POSTER in this thread who is saying she tossed her yorkie outside.....DOES THIS below sound like the SAME person as the one in this thread ? Nope.

this sure sounds more like a former older member - the writing style is completely different....I think we're being scammed everyone.

Wow. What a horrible post. Your posts don't add up at all. I hope that if you really have a Yorkie, she is ok.

Oh my.

Hey I want to join a clique? can i?

I sincerely hope you'll not put her outside again. It is too cold for that poor little cute doggie to be out in the night.

There're many ways to train a puppy. I paper train my puppy and so far he is doing great. I understand you don't have money to buy crate or pee pads at the moment. Is ok, you can train her by using newspaper.

Put her in the bathroom/kitchen (small area) and lay newspaper on the ground (the whole area for initial training). You will notice she has a favourite spot where she pees or poo. Gradually reduce the area where you lay the newspaper. After a few days, she will know when she needs to pee, she'll go to the newspaper. As for me, I always throw out the top layer of the newspaper and leave a little stain on the new one. She'll sniff her way to the newspaper.

These cute little yorkies are very intelligent, they will learn and they can be trained. Again, the key word is "Patience". It is like trying to potty train a child.

Well, now I read all the posts. I understand losing your temper, but that little puppy doesn't. If you know you can't put her out in the sun all day, why would you put her out in the cold all night. I'm trying to figure a way to make this sound half polite. The concept of YT is to try and help each other and share experiences. Why don't you start with a new approach. Something like "Please help me with my new puppy", "I'm losing my patience, please help with potty training" "Was I really ready for this" and so on. I am not trying to put words into your mouth, but you will get reactions in regard to whichever way you approach it. You say you love her to death and won't give her up. Start with that, then say what your problem might be. To say you "threw" her out, sounds just like that, that you threw a little puppy (not that any size would be acceptable). I lose my patience every single day...not just puppies, I have a mouthy 12 1/2 year old daughter. It takes patience, patience, patience.

Oh My,
I can't type, because the tears won't let me see.
I am speachless, Good Night all.
I hope all have a nice warm night.

Gina....Once I re-read all the threads by this person.....I'm so not believing this ...I hope it's just not true.... because if it is true than a little yorkie is at severe risk.....but I have a feeling someone is playing head games here....

Oh, sista friend, I feel your pain.....ME too....makes me wanna throw HER out in the yard.

And I'm hoping the op IS scamming us. If not, I feel so bad for that baby.....

I'm still crying at the fact that she was 'tossed outside' and forgotten. :mad:
I can't believe I read that ! I'm going to go and say some prayers, and hope this tiny baby gets a lot of love. Please have some patience with her, she is so small and doesn't understand. She just wants to be loved, held, and bond with you.
