| Kennels Do y'all leave your yorkies in a small kennel or a big one where they have room to run around some? I have a huge one from when our bigger dog was a puppy, but he doesn't use it any more. So, we were letting Ryder stay in it while we were gone, but I'm so tired of cleaning up after him. Would you recommend a smaller kennel or what should I do to prevent him from going in the kennel? |

| Smaller is best til housebroken. Lots of space is an earned privilege.

The kennel Ryder is in now is huge. I'm able to fit a small bed and his food/water bowls and he still has a little room to spare. I also have a smaller crate that I put him in when we go some where. I debated on trying that for awhile and seeing how he does. He's FINALLY getting some what better at house training. But, he's still having some accidents. Which I understand, but the kennel is a big issue. | |

| Yorkies need to go outside as puppies every 2-3 hrs. They are not made to be crated all day. Mine even as adults are rarely left for more than 3-4 hours. You may want to look into pee pads.

Pee pads work when we're home. He's finally started using them. However, if I leave them in the crate, he tears them up. So, I'm not spending all that money on pee pads for him to tear them up. | |

| I have a little houdini also but thankfully I am lucky enough to be home with my babies. Although when we do have to leave them to run errands I do crate Laddy because he has separation anxiety and will jump at the door handle from the time I close the door until I return home. Your little one definately needs to have food and water available though especially in this heat.

| I'm training my pup to use a kennel when nobody is home. But I will use a wee pad in the corner. washable cheap and hard to chew. They will need to go. But if in the same spot it will be easier to clean up. This and house training it still takes ~2 yrs before they won't go in the house. Well at least for a short period of time. I will pen mine because the danger of chewing everything up it worst imo.

Have you tried the reusable human type of incontinence pads- A bit harder to destroy and more Eco- friendly.
