New to YT Hello All: I am not sure if I am posting in the right place but I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Tracy and I have a 17 week old Yorkie named Gussie. He is the love of my life. Any suggestions on housetraining would be greatly appreciated. I have never owned a yorkie before. |

Welcome Tracy and Gussie! |
Welcome! House training Yorkie's can be tough. Is he neutered? |
Welcome Tracy....I hope you have plenty of pee pads, because it's going to be a long road. I'm still trying and my baby is 5 months |
Hi Tracy and Gussie, welcome to YT |
Hi Tracy, welcome to Yorkietalk to both you and Gussie. :) |
Welcome to Yt! Are you going to train your baby to potty on pads or outdoors? Don't know what kind if advice to give because I'm not sure which way your going... Lol! |
Welcome to YT!! |
Welcome to YT i hope you like it here |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Yorkies can be tough to potty train. Be patient and take any advice you can get on Yorkie Talk. |
welcome to you and Gussie! consistency and patience when potty training. if going outside you can try a bell on the door for him to ring when he wants to go out potty. |
Hi thank you all for responding. I am training Gussie on the wee pads. If I confine him to a small area (exerpen) he will use them but the second he is free he will not go on the pads. Not sure what else to do, anyone? |
Hi & welcome Gussie & Tracy! It's great that Gussie is using the pads when in the pen. Make sure you make a super big deal of praising & treating him whenever he uses the pads. Good luck with your new baby! |
In my past experience I found to first train a puppy indoors was the easiest way to go, when they are 100% pad trained start the outdoor training. Walk pup the same time every morning. If you work, walk 2 times a day, once before you leave for work, again when you come home from work, a 3rd time just before bed time. Consistency and patience is a must. The first few times you leash walk, Gussie will more then likely just sniff everything, I always used the command words pee-pee and poo-poo on the entire walk. Even if he doesn't make, keep up the schedule, same time everyday. Dogs are creatures of habit, He will get get. My pups were 100% pad trained at 5 months, After they had all their shots the leash waking started. All my pups were 100% house broken at 8 months old. I was a working gal, my babies were alone for 9 hours, never a accident. Just remember Consistency. Good luck. |
