| New yorkie owner Hi everyone. I'm a new yorki owner therefore, new to this site. Hoping this will be informative for me. I have an 11 wk old female named zoey. She's cute but a terror to my other dog. He's a 2 yr old cairn terrier mix. And potty training is not going so well. Any suggestions?? |

| Do you keep her confined to a limited space or keep her right with you all the time? A puppy her age has no real bladder control so you pretty much have to have her right by the pad to get her there in time. The muscle required to hold back urine is not developed enough for used until they are about 4 months old and then it is not exact. You have to keep her right with you or in a exercise pen when your not watching her in order to keep her from going just any where. As for her attitude with the other dog........she is a female terrier and apparently has decided to run the show. There are some good training tips available here. Yorkies can be very high energy and shall we say "forward" in their personalities. |

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Welcome to YT! We use potty pads too. For us giving lots of praise and even a reward here and there has helped us. Sometimes when Katie Scarlett would pee on the pad when we first got her you would of thought we had won the lottery. LOL. She still has the occasional accident but she is getting much better.
