Accidents almost everyday!!! 😩😩😩 Coco is 3 years old and she is a very loving sweet baby.... But I can't stop her having accidents!!! She has free run of the house and sleeps with us.... I know I have made mistakes but I'm asking for help... When I go to clean up her accident she runs to hide and acts so sorry so I know she knows she has done wrong!!! Michael is home with her most of the time so she is rarely left for long periods of time... Should I start putting her in her cage when we leave that I never used? Yes I do give her a treat after we go outside and potty.. Please help!!! I love my Baby but want the accidents to STOP!! |
Did you ever use the crate or you are saying, you have a crate but haven't used? I am not sure how difficult it is to start but for me and my lil ones, crate training was easy and effective. Plus they end up treating their crate like their bedroom-cozy and safe. |
It took about a year for Piper to be pretty much housebroken (she was about three yrs when I got her). I was actually resigned to the fact that Piper was never going "get" it and bought a steam cleaner to cut down on my frustration. And then suddenly, it seems, she decided going outside to do her business was an ok thing (giving her thee favorite treat when she came in seemed to trigger her success). It's lousy, I know, and my girl isn't 100% all the time, but it will happen--patience, humor, and consistency will serve you well!! Hang in there...! Oh, and Piper has always had the run of our, albeit, small little place. |
I'm little confused. Is she having accidents when someone is home too or only when she's left alone? If it's all the time then I think you'll need to re-train her from the start. If it's only when no one's home and you don't want to crate train, how about a playpen? |
I use the piddle pads and trained Joni to go on those. From everything I read, Yorkies are very hard to completely house train, and I just felt like this was a better answer for us. I didn't have to rush home to let her out or worry that she was in urgent need to go. I started with several placed around the house and over time worked it down to a strategic 3. (She made it clear where her 'place' would be so I just keep a pad in those spots). For us, the ease and absence of angst offset the cost, but just as with baby diapers, it is a cost. Best wishes to you that you find a method that works for your family. |
I think I would make sure she does not have any health issues. My little girl had a bladder infection and she also had vaginitis which made her pee in the house. I always use pee pads they work for us and we do not have to let her out . When we go I always keep her in the kitchen with her crate open. She has her pee pad and we do not have to worry about her when we have to go for awhile. Otherwise she has run of the house and always sleeps with us. Hope things work out for your little one.

Why does she have the run of the house if she's having constant accidents...??!! You've taught her it's fine to go everywhere, at this point. You need to start over and confine her to a smaller space to start out with again...get an Iris Pen or whatnot, but not a crate unless she is used to it at this point. See the General Training section stickies for great potty training threads. |
My previous Dog Bailey was 9 years old and was still having accidents even though we took him outside to do his business. I'm not sure if it was a territorial thing because we never had him neutered because of his small size. When we left him alone to go to work, we would gate off our bathroom and put him in there and he would be fine, hardly any accidents, but when he had free reign of the house, he would go often. Now with our new female dog Bella, we gate off an area for her in the kitchen and leave paper down and for the most part she uses it. We are training her to go outside and she is getting it slowly. Some days are better than others. Even when we are home she still has accidents. Shes only 5 months. It take patience and time |

:thumbup: re-train from the start and confine to smaller space They don't know what's "good" or "bad", you need to guide them towards what you want and prevent things that you don't want. If you grant access to so much space, then you're granting them access to potty everywhere. Try to stick to a regular outdoor potty schedule, if you're not using peepads. Let her earn access by consistently not having accidents. :) |
We just got a trainer for our 5-year-old girl, to help with her barking :-( She also was peeing on a big rug and although she's peepad-trained was still going on this rug. We had it deep cleaned and deodarized, and the trainer suggested we spray it, her bed, our bed, everywhere she sleeps (which is everywhere!) with lavendar oil in water (just a few drops in a spray bottle), then put a little of the oil on our hands and massage her. Apparently they don't pee on things that smell like them - or something like that! Anyway, it seems to be working - although having the rug deep cleaned probably accounts for part of the success. Anyway, my plan is to spray everything once a week when I clean and oil her up at the same time (I don't mean that literally - just a drop or two on my hand or in her bath rinse water). We also put her food dish on another rug we don't want her to pee on - same idea, they don't pee where they eat. Probably wouldn't work with generalized pee- anywhere behavior but I thought I'd pass it along. |
