Hoping someone has had the same experince with their yorkie as i am having with mine, But id say probably not I bought my mom a yorkie in Febuary this is just about mid August an we can not potty train her she will go outside an no sooner come back in an she'll pee an poo or even both Ive reasearched the net and have done all they say to do about the praiseing etc But it doesnt work as i said shell go out but as soon as she comes in she will do her business on our carpet Also when shes out she will eat rocks worms sticks grass Shes really bad about eatting her own poo anything she sees she consumes Does anyone have any answers or solitions to try and get her to stop doing these things

The book How to Potty Train a Puppy in 7 Days is great. It takes longer than 7 days, but offers some great suggestions. A schedule really helped me to potty train my crew.

I agree with sticking to a schedule. Feed on a schedule and take outside on a schedule. No free feeding. If you know when the food goes in, you can pretty much know when to expect when it will come out.

Also when you take her outside make sure she actually goes, and goes a good amount. A small trickle isn't enough and many times they don't empty their entire bladder on one go. Or instead of just sticking her in the yard for a few minutes, actually take her on a short walk. Smelling the other dogs' smells helps them to go easier.

Take her out 20 to 30 minutes after she eats, my boy needs out 10 minutes after eating.

I take mine out about a half hr after eating. I agree, no free feeding. Feed often, but then take her right outside. My pup is 5 months old and is pretty much potty trained. Praise like crazy and give a treat. Hope you have it figured out soon.

It took me almost 2 months of consistent training to get Dinky trained.
I think the key was that I restricted his area to one uncarpeted area in the house until he was trained. The openings were too big for a gate, so I used boxes.
THen I used a trick my mother in law told me about. I took him out every 2 hours during the day. I think he knew what he wanted for a while before he would cooperate.
After he was trained, I let him out to the rest of the house. He had a relapse, then it was back to the kitchen. He got the point right away.

The idea of restricting him and then returning to the restricted area after a relapse, I got from Yorkie forum.
He is 5 now, and while he is not the most obedient dog in the world, he has potty training down cold!

Thanks everyone who has replied I'm going to try all tips I recived I'm curious tho and want to ask when you say no free feeding do u u mean water to She's almost 9 months old an is very playful she drinks a good amount of water after playing Do I restrict her water intake too

Leave water available at all times. No free feeding means no food such as, kibble, canned food, ppl food etc. Feed same time everyday, if you feed 2 or 3 times a day it MUST be the same time every day, after she eats wait 20 or 30 minutes then take her out, every dog is diff. mine poops 10 minutes after he eats, it's trail and error.Even if she made in the house take her out anyway at the scheduled time. Dogs are creatures of habit, they have built in time clocks, be consistent in feeding time and out to potty time. Patience, rewards and lots of happy, crazy, big fuss praise. She will get it but, YOU HAVE to be consistent on the time of feeding and out to potty.

Just checking - so she's about 9 months old...and how much does she weigh? I always think - the smaller the pup, the smaller the bladder etc...

I personally wouldn't allow her to eat the rubbish that she's eating...worms, sticks, grass and poop etc...I'd keep her on a lead, and check every single thing.

What food is she on? (Sorry to quiz you...:rolleyes:)

I would NEVER withhold water from a pup, please don't do that. It's US that need to be trained as well, getting to know the signals of when they need to go :) Sally + Harry :aimeeyork xx

Writing out her shedule for a few days was really helpful while training my Abby. I found that she poops right before she is ready for her next meal. Saved me hours of sitting outside waiting for her to go after feeding!

Just a thought:
Annie never wanted to go out so I decided to pee pad train her. My laundry room is right off my kitchen so the pads are in there. I got the grain free blue buffalo tiny bits treats and I break them in half. It's like training a child. You have to watch them constantly and when she went on the pad she got praised and given the small treat. When she poos she gets half of a very small bone she likes. She was a rescue and used to cleaning up the cage she was in so the vet said that she was eating the poop because of that. When she poops, I pick it up right away with toilet paper and flush it. It only took about a week and she was trained! I still have to come look at what she did and give her a treat, but if I forget she's OK with it. She will come and sit by me with that Yorkie stare until I get up and go look to see that she went but she has never had any accidents after the first couple weeks. She's not interested in eating it anymore either as I won't be able to see it and give here a bone.... I use the "Simple Solutions" pads that are scented and have gel to absorb the pee. Since I'm flushing the poop, I don't have any smell problems.

Spice is a year old and I got her to stop eating her poo by giving her 4 pineapple chunkc every day and moistening her kibble with a little of the juice. I drain them , keep the juice and freeze them on a pan then put them in a freezer bowl.

Another thing I found helpful was to take him out right after he would wake up from sleeping. He always wanted to pee then, so I could usually get him to do that outside.
Also, I also praised the heck out of him whenever he went outside. To this day, we still tell him he is a good boy and when he poos, we praise even more. Truth is I really, really appreciate it that he goes outside, So my praise is real! Good luck and stick with it. Your pup will get it one day, and you will be so happy!
