Hi Everyone Hi Guys My name is JoeAnn and i am new to yorkie talk i will be getting a female yorkie puppy may 20 or 21 she is already spoiled!!! I was wondering what kind of treats and toys you get your yorkies. I got her some yorkie yummies and several squeaky toys from petsmart. Also what are some good potty training tips. thanks |
Hi JoeAn, welcome to Yorkietalk! Congrats on you new fur baby. I get my Yorkies the Wellness Petite Treats soft mini bites or the Wellness just for puppy treats. For toys, mine like the crinkle kind, squeak toys, tennis balls that squeak, and rope toys. For potty training, do you want to train her inside or outside? |
thanks leroy Since my apartment is kind of small i kind of want to potty train her inside i got her a crate called a puppy apartment its where you can use the bathroom in the crate then in the other section she can go to bed. I got her that just in case when school starts back in August she wont mess up my apartment too munch i might get diapers also they say yorkies are hard to house break |
Welcome! How exciting. There are several good books on Yorkies. One is : HOW TO HOUSE BREAK YOUR DOG IN 7 DAY by Shirlee Kalstone. But done take the 7 days literally, but there are great tips in there! |
:welcome4: :yorkietal :welcome4: Joeann, welcome to you and your new pup. I know you are excited! Can't wait to see your precious little one. Your YY's are on the way :). My three are potty pad trained. I use washables - I got mine free from a company that supplies hospitals. They are fantastic and save a bunch of $$ and hopefully I am doing my small part to help the environment. There are a lot of different ideas about potty training. Some crate train, others don't. I'm on the "don't" team. I just feel like it's wrong to put a pup in a cage for hours. My home is as Yorkie proof as I can make it and with little ones running around the house, I do confine them to one room which has potty pads and is extra safe. I'm sure you will get a lot of fantastic ideas! |
thanks guys I really appreciate it the only thing i am worried about is when im at school i am thinking about getting a kong wobbler has anyone tried the kong brand before? |

For Leroy, I trained him to go both inside and outside. Like chattiesmom mentioned I also didn't crate train Leroy. I started training him inside first by putting a training pad down and whenever he would go on it, I would praise him with words and sometimes by giving him treats and made a big deal when he went on the pad. When he didn't pee on it and peed on the floor, I would just ignore him. |
great Thanks I guess ill see how it goes once she gets her i am hoping it goes well |

aww thanks Leroy thanks guys i was discouraged at all i know each puppy is different i most likely am going to train her in and out i would love for her to be able to go outside to potty. But i know with puppies they have to go 3 times a day so thats gonna be the hard part hopefully she will show me signs |
