And the crying stopped after a couple of minutes. Either she tired herself out or she is starting to learn I'm not giving her attention for that kind of negative behavior at night. Guess I'll have to start crate training in earnest when I get up in a few hours.

yorkiefan_ 07-04-2013 07:38 AM
So far no more indoor poops/pees since those first three; not even sleeping in the night! Lots of outdoor poops and pees though.

yorkiefan_ 07-04-2013 12:31 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Cookie and I were watching some of Alana's Dexter's Ruff Life videos on youtube and Cookie started growling at Dexter!

She is so cute! I can't believe I just saw the pictures! You are doing such a great job of house training her. Every dog I ever had cried and cried at first on the crate, but wound up loving it so much later. Well, every one except for teddy. He was the one exception to my rule. I can't wait to see more pictures of her!

Crate training at this age takes constant vigilance. She is going to have to go very often and if you are not right there to take her out she has no ability to hold it so you can't be even a couple of seconds off.

She is adorable. I hope all goes well for you but it is going to take a while for her to be totally trained.

She has been doing so well this last day and a half. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can start taking her out once an hour when awake and once every three when sleeping.

You may find that an easier option if you continue to have issues with outdoors potty training. Also, when taking Cookie outdoors, exercise caution until a couple of weeks after her last puppy shots because unless your outdoors area is completely animal-free and has been so for months, it's possible for her to contract parvo, which can live in the soil for a very long time.
Just checked, and Cook had her parvo shots at 7, 10, and 13 weeks. She just turned 14 weeks yesterday.

She peed twice inside, but all poops have been outside and most pees.

And I got her a tennis ball and a doggy pacifier chew toy today, but as soon as I gave them to her she decided to go right for my socks instead. LOL

Teddysmom76 07-05-2013 05:02 PM
Still pretty amazing! After all she is a tiny baby:). My adult yorkie peed inside today so she's still almost doing better than he is:):) actually she is totally doing better than he is!

yorkiefan_ 07-05-2013 05:56 PM
It was kind of funny this morning. We have been feeding her canned Pedigree puppy formulation the past two days, so when I switched to Royal Canin 29 this morning Cookie looked up at me as if to say "Where's the Beef?" I eventually mixed a bit of the Pedigree back with her Royal Canin, and now she likes the Royal Canin again.

Her favorite snack so far is Honeycomb cereal. D'oh, I bought her a can of unsalted green beans the day before I got her and completely forgot to give her any; Deb told me she loves green beans and baby carrots. I know all yorkie seem to dearly love carrots (Minnie did for sure), and Cook is also a big fan.

Cookie's actually pretty big though. She's at least 3.5 pounds and just turned 14 weeks 2 days ago. So that's probably a lot of the reason potty training is going pretty well. I imagine it has to be really tough with smaller yorkies since their bladders are so small. Well, not that it's easy potty training Cookie, but, could definitely be worse.

yorkiefan_ 07-06-2013 11:36 AM
Got her a little tennis ball that she loves to chase outside when I throw it. Funny thing is she always wants to take the tennis ball inside instead of bringing it back to me. So then when we go inside she grabs her tennis ball and immediately heads for the door and starts crying. So I took her out again to throw the ball, and she still fetched it and tried to take it back inside. Finally I convinced her to come bring it back when she was sitting at the back door outside with the ball, and now when she brings the ball back to me she runs past me, turns around, and comes up behind me to give the ball back, lol.

She's a great size! I meant tiny just in the sense that mentally she is a baby, no matter how many pounds, they are learning everything fresh! I think you have a very smart girl on your hands, Deb raises such nice puppies. I love the story of the tennis ball too, it's so cute! She is such a little smartie!

she is so cute

yorkiefan_ 07-07-2013 06:37 PM
Sometimes I feel like Cookie is training me.

So it's 9PM and she has only eaten half the amount of Royal Canin she is supposed to for the day and I can't get her to finish her daily bowl. Put a little Pedigree out and she wasn't eating that either, but she still wants to give me tons of kisses. So I got the idea of smearing the Pedigree on my nose and asking for kisses, lol. She ended up eating a pretty decent amount before getting sick of it. Boy I hope feeding her is easier tomorrow.

yorkiefan_ 07-07-2013 09:23 PM
Just love Cookie's little high pitched bark. Don't have a videocamera so can't share, but it's the cutest sound in the world. I practically melted the first time I heard it after picking her up at the airport.

Teddysmom76 07-08-2013 05:07 AM
I love the puppy bark. It's so cute!

yorkiefan_ 07-08-2013 08:01 AM
Cookie cracks me up. She has a small Simba the Lion King toy (no small parts and very durable) that she likes to take out back and set in a patch of lavender growing in the garden. Then she jumps and pounces on it to release a nice smell. Plus the patch is really soft.

yorkiefan_ 07-08-2013 04:07 PM
Man this dog just drives me crazy in a good way. A couple of minutes ago she jumped on my chest and started kissing my face, and then started kissing my ear until I was laughing so hard I was crying. Then she kept trying to stick her tongue in my mouth! Oh my God, I still have tears of laughter!

My sister & I are laughing out loud reading this! Oh yeah, Cookie has you trained all right! Hey, in the dog world do mothers chew the food first & then spit it into the baby's mouth? LOL, you could try that tomorrow.

Maybe it won't have to come to that. She just really pigged out on her Royal Canin a few minutes ago. It was like the scene in Christmas Story when the mother was trying to get the little kid to eat his mashed potatoes.

I was out of town for a family reunion and my Dad was sick, so I felt I really needed to go. I just caught up with this thread and Chris you crack me up! Food on your nose?? Now, that is true love! LOL
Thank you for the home you're providing and the love and care you show her!

yorkiefan_ 07-09-2013 11:24 AM
Cookie had a mucus poop this morning, so I took her into the vet with a stool sample. Everything tested negative, and he thought it was just the change in diet Cookie has had this week. Said her heart, ears, eyes, teeth, gums, hips, etc looked great in the checkup, and my little teapot in the making is at 3.75 lbs two days shy of her 15th week. He recommended I start her on Heartguard, and Cookie ate that chewable up quickly; I broke it into a few pieces since she's still so small and I don't want her to choke, but she ate every last bit. She immediately gave kisses to my vet's sweet assistant Kim who was just so sad when we lost Minnie. Kim said Cookie is such a cutie.

yorkiefan_ 07-14-2013 01:47 PM
This girl cracks me up. So her outdoor water bowl is a big one like you'd give an 80lb dog, and little 4 lb Cookie likes to stick her paws in it and play with it to watch the sunlight rippling off the waves lol.

yorkiefan_ 07-27-2013 01:44 PM
My Cookie Monster is a pretty smart pup. I haven't worked on tricks at all until about 3 days ago, but now she knows

1. Sit
2. Speak
3. Lay Down
4. Up
5. Crawl (thanks Captain Noonie!)

6. C'mere Cookie is still a work in progress, though she's getting better at it as I'm getting her used to following me on the leash.

Still, the main trick I want to teach is "Go Pee" lol

Teddysmom76 07-27-2013 06:45 PM
Wow! That's so many trucks so fast:). Cookie is so smart:). Wouldn't it be amazing if you could say go pee and it worked? We can dream.....

I'm trying to work on it now. Now when she squats down outside I immediately say "Go pee!" and then save the big praise until after. My brother, who rescues a lot of dogs from the shelter his GF works at, says what worked well for him was to put a bell at the door and then anytime one of his dogs had an accident he would take the dog to the door and hit the bell with a paw. But he said this was with adult dogs. I just wonder if a puppy knows he has to pee in enough time to do that, or if they might just have to go when the feeling strikes. Since Cookie whines and paws at her cage at night when in bed when she has to go out, I lean more towards the former I guess.

yorkiefan_ 07-27-2013 07:14 PM
Crap, now I feel bad: just saw that today is my baby's 4 month birthday and I didn't even get her a party hat. :(

lol
