Cause for celebration! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Samantha, my granddaughter's four-year-old Yorkie girl who has been with me for two months now, was loose in the house all day yesterday and used her potty pad all day! I was gone for about an hour and a half and she was in her crate then, but she was loose the rest of the day. I watch her carefully when she's loose and she is finally catching on that she's supposed to use the potty pad. We have a potty party when she does and she gets a really good treat. We aren't there yet with potty training, but we are making good progress. Samantha is Grandma's good girl!

That is fantastic for you and Samantha. Give her lots of hugs and treats. Still praying for her rehoming situation.

Many thanks! It's good to celebrate even small successes! We aren't there yet, but she is making good progress. Still don't have my son's go-ahead to find her a new home, but I'm working on it. I don't think he's talked to my granddaughter about it yet. Sammy is a sweetheart and she needs her own. She would be perfect for a retired lady who wants a sweet companion and who has the time and patience to continue with her potty training. She would also be fine for a family with teenage kids, but her potty manners will need attention for a long time yet. I think she's come a long way since she's been with me from pretty much no potty manners to using the potty pad (almost) all the time.

) I'm proud of her!

Yay Samantha! If you praise the little things, you'll notice how much quicker they catch on. We still celebrate with Kaji a poop on the pad. He gets so excited when he gets it right!
