| potty training again I have read all the postings on housebreaking,I have one yorkie completely housebroken with no problem ,I have jingle bells on the door that he rings ,I was so proud he has never had an accident.I also have one that was housebroken until i got a new puppy.The puppy is now almost a year old and still not housebroken Ive tried belly bands pee pads outside trainingand the only thing I got was a super sneaky yorkie.Every time i think im making progress i find he was hiding it in a new spot.We have been at this so long that my housebroken yorkie starts barking at the little one when he starts sniffing the carpet.any The little one hates the cold could this be the problem?The other 2 were trained to go outside .I have a fenced in yard plus a 20 by 20 area fenced in out the back door inside the big fence just to be super safe.could I be confusing him with the pads (not that he uses them only throw rugs I had to throw them all away.If I see him doing it he runs for the door.Any suggestions?He was also neutered.Help my house is stinky. |

| Just my opinion, but I think you are confusing him with the pads. You are allowing him to go in the house. He may not understand or got the connection that you only will allow him when he goes on the pad. All he knows is that you will let him go in the house and then you will get mad at him if he goes in the house. He's even tried to go on retangular shaped places like the pee pad (your now discarded rugs) and does not understand why you get mad, only that you do get mad. I know it's uncomfortable to go pee and poo in the rain and cold weather. But you must force the issue, even if you have to take him out on leash and keep him out there until he does his business. (yes it will be uncomfortable for you too, but it will be well worth it in the future). I think if the only acceptable place to go potty is outside, he will soon learn that there is no where in the house that he is allowed to go. Therefore, I would put the peepads up and never bring them out again. There should be only 2 places in your dogs mind. Inside and outside. He can then begin to discern what is acceptable "inside" and what is acceptable "Outside". |
