Here's the problem. Chanel is 13 weeks old so we have not started "formal" potty training. She does ok not good inside but if I take her out it doesn't matter if we are out 15 min or 2 hours as soon as her feet hit the inside floor she pees or poops. What gives? I don't like to keep her pinned ALL the time. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Suzy

Try taking her out every hour and when she goes outside tell her what a good girl she is and give her a treat. Kyra is 16 weeks old and she has been potty trained since 13 only took a week of doing this

. We also keep pee pads down in case we forget and she will use those then. Good luck.

Many people have the same issue, including me. I dont have advice for you, as i, myself am always trying to get Pheobe to be better about it. Ive come to realise that yorkies ( other small dogs included) are just sometimes stubborn about it and get stuck in their ways and.. as unfortunate as it is, they know THEY run things. haha. They're little spoiled brats, and hold the role well

Sticking with a good routine and reward system MAY help. Be persistant and shy away from scolding due to accidents, its only proven(to me) to make things worse.

Good Luck!
