| Belly bands? Hey all I was curious if any of you all have used belly bands on your yorkie makes to keep them from marking? I know this topic was discussed before, but I can't get the search button to work( I'm on my iPhone viewing YT). Can anyone give insight into whether this works and where to purchase these? Thanks!! |

| I don't have any males, but lots of people do use them. Neutering should help this though. This is the best place to get them. Our fellow member 107barney makes them. Washable and reusable dog and puppy pee pads, belly bands, and diapers by T. Bumpkins & Co.

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | I use them now and then. And love them. I had a problem with Riley for awhile but with these and working with him glad to say its much better. I love the t bumpkin ones. The first one I ever bought had elastic. I hated it and it was not comfortable for Riley. But these have no elastic and wash up beautifully.

| My studs all wear them around the house....they stand politely while I put them on. I put a doggie diaper folded back on itself until it looks like a sanitary pad, inside the belly band...doggie diapers are very absorable and keep them drier than sanitary pads....I check them and change them as necessary...I use a baby wipe between changes, just to keep that little man part clean and fresh and dry....I also make sure we go outside for potty breaks several times a day....they usually dont pee that much in their pads....just little dribbles, from "marking" behavior. |

| Thanks all. Yeah I am going to try these. Otherwise I may go insane from his behavior. I have tried to break him of it but without luck! |

| Aw that brings back memories! My little dex used to fall over when he was a baby, but believe me they master the balancing act quickly! Hopefully these work. Did you all just use like a fabric measuring tape and measure the circumference of their waist? He's just under 4 lbs so I'm sure he's the smallest they have. Can't decide on a fabric design lol. Any suggestions ... |

| I like the cotton belly bands, without elastic on the sides, and velcro closure strips. Some of the ones I had made have a "pocket" on each end, where you can insert the ends of the pad, which helps hold the diapers I use, inside the bellyband. |

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | Yes I just measured around his waist. They help save carpet and furniture. I choose golf theme and cowboy them. We also got some cute ones in the ge we where in. I used a sanitary napkin. Just the generic thinner pad from Walmart worked great. You do still need to let him out several times a day. Riley some days would need to have it changed several times. And the next day not at all. I did breed him three times so blame myself for some of it. He is doing much better now. I have not put one on in a long while. He is also one that would rather use a pee pad then go outside.
