Why are yorkies so hard to housebreak? Yorkies are notorious for taking a long time to be housebroken, and our Joey is no exception. I am taking Joey to my mother's house for Thanksgiving and she is all up in arms about him peeing and pooping everywhere. She honestly thinks that my fiance and I have just "not tried" to potty train him. How can I prove to her that it's a breed thing?? We have done EVERYTHING, and he still has mistakes (he is 8 months). |
Print this thread out,, once everyone post's you'll have proof! :rolleyes: |
AND He will for awhile.... :yelrotflm You have to understand he has tiny interiors, bladder etc. Plus most toys have this problem. Patience, that's all. In time he will be housebroken. |

So that out of the way. No way did those dogs get housebroken in 1 week, no way. If your mom got both those dogs as puppies she went through potty training for a few months. I don't care what anyone says, puppies take several months to train. I have trained over 10 dogs in my life time. Not just Yorkies, believe me puppies take time. I think your Mom has forgotten. I'll bet her dogs are over 5yrs now. Are they? |

Are you trying to teach him to be pee pad trained or outside trained? My mom literally had her weimeraner trained in under a week, but she took her out to potty everytime she ate, woke up, drank, ect. About every hour on the hour. Logan took a little longer, but after a month he didn't poop in the house and at 5 months he was completely trained and hasn't had an accident since. Getting him fixed also seemed to help. I would take a crate or playpen to your moms house for him to hang out in when you can't give him your full attention that way he won't sneak off and potty. |
Well, Joey won't go to the bathroom at all outside (unless i put a wee wee pad down - which my mom thinks is bizarre). He was recently neutered, and it seemed to make it worse for awhile. Yes, I think my mom needs to get a crate for her house so we don't have to worry so much. Thanks everyone! |
Here is a product that I really like for visiting other people's homes and especially for my leg lifter. They are a little expensive but they are so adorable on the dogs people just think they are clothes. Because I live in the west I do the denim with the red hankie in the back pocket. Everyone just things they are overalls for the dogs. For the pads that go in the panties I just use woman's light day pads and they work fine and are less $$$. My visit is so much more enjoyable because I am not worried if there will or won't be an accident. ;) http://www.joybies.com/ Hope this helps. |
I don't want to speak too soon. But I picked up Kiki on November 12th and today is the 21st of November and we've only had 2 accidents in the house and that was my fault. I consistently take him out after eating and then every hour and 1/2. I crate him if I am leaving the house or If I am doing something that will cause me to not be able to watch him like a hawk. I also have the potty sniffing down pretty well. When he has to go, he starts to walk around the house really fast, like he is looking for something and his nose is to the ground the entire time. When he does that, then I know that it is time to go out. He is doing very well! Ladyt & Kiki :aimeeyork |
