Gizmo is coming soon! Hi everyone! I am patiently waiting to bring Gizmo home this Friday. He'll be 11 weeks. I keep going back and forth about if I want to train him to go outside or on pee pads. I've read lots of discussion here about the subject but I'm undecided. Anyway, hello everyone! P.S. I didn't realize Gizmo was such a popular name! :) |
Hi and welcome to YT! Can't wait to see pics of gizmo congrats!:) |
Welcome. You will just love having a yorkie in your life. Where do you live? Do you have to worry about winter weather? That might play a role in your decision to train using pee pads or going outside. I bet Friday can't get here soon enough for you! :animal-pa |
Welcome and congrats! |

Maxwell, We have a regular winter here...snow, wind, all that good stuff. The temperature just dropped to upper 30's and I don't want to be out there---but I don't want that to be the reason he doesn't go outside. My concern is, I don't want to buy pee pads his entire life and I want to be able to take him to other people's houses----I don't think people without pets want a dog using it inside. :) |
Welcome to YorkieTalk! We do potty pads and outside. They know to go outside while we are home and have potty pads available when we go to work. |

My worry is bringing them outside in the bitter cold, with temps below freezing and snow covering the yard. They're such little guys! |
Congratulations. I can't wait to see pictures of Gizmo. My 3 are pad trained or at least some of the time. I don't think I would do the pad training again. Maybe I am just not good at pad training but all 3 of mine have "accidents". These are the first dogs I have not trained to go outside and the only ones who have had so many accidents. I feel they never learn to hold it for any length of time. They will pee on the pads all day and then all of a sudden pee right on the carpet. I am in the process of redoing my floors because of this. They will be much more confined and start retraining immediately. With 3 it's kind of gross having pee pads down even though I change them frequently. Just my experience. |
My Morkie Amy is 11 weeks old and have been trying to train using pee pads but all she does is tear them up or grab it and carry it through the house. I need suggestions on what I am doing wrong. We do try and watch her and do the usual things like when she wakes, done eating, before bedtime, when she first gets up and such and take her outside. We live in Illinois and it would be nice for her to use the pee pads in the winter. Husband even tried a little of his urine on the pad but didn't help. Any sugguestions? |
My pup carmello is now 7 months old, and hasnt had any accidents in 2-3 months :) I started with pee pads and crating him while I was at work, and created a small section attatched to his crate so he can easily go into the crate or to the pee pad. Once he was almost done with his vaccines I started to walk him/let him out in the back yard and when I least expected it he peed outside when we were walking into the house from a car ride. Ever sice then I would get home for lunch/work and his pee pads would be clean(and ripped!) so I stopped ising the pee pads and confined him to his crate. |
