Welcome!!! How is potty training going? What method are you doing?

I am going to be getting my little girl in about a week! So excited! I had a little girl Cassie Leigh Marie who passed over 4 months ago. She was 12. Will always miss her, however, my heart is SO ready to start over with another little girl. Her name is Roxie! How is eating going for your dog?

My Yorky is toys size 6 pound Yorky, who the vet says there's actually a little overweight so she needs to lose a pound. We no longer give her a cheese snack in the evening which is high in fat, and only give her one small milk bone dog biscuit a day. She has lost a few ounces already in one week! We had noticed she was a little out of shape when we took her for walks before he ever told us she need to drop a little weight. She is my fourth Yorky and the smallest, in the most difficult to potty train. I think the smaller they are the harder they are to train, because I never had any difficulty with potty training with my other dogs. I crate trained her and kept her in there at night and anytime during the day when I couldn't watch her. I took her out every couple of hours, especially after sleeping playing readi I think the smaller they are the harder they are to train, because I never had any difficulty with potty training with my other dogs. I crate trained her and kept her in there at night and anytime during the day when I couldn't watch her. I took her out every couple of hours, especially after sleeping playing or eating. But for a while she just didn't get it. I would find little accidents. By the way never scold your Yorky for an accident and less you actually catcher him or herin the act. I train with positive reinforcement. Finally we started giving her a little treat soon as she went potty outside and that's when it clicked for her! I always took her out and said "go potty". But once the treats came for going potty outside she finally understood where she was supposed to go! She was doing great now with no problems in that area. Since she is small she had a few extra baby teeth need to be removed when I took her in for her first dental cleaning, which was needed because I did not start brushing her teeth as soon as I should have. Since she has a little small mouth, some of her permanent teeth came in a little crooked and created pockets underneath the gums were food can collect and toothbrushing cannot get to. So every year or two I will probably have to get her teeth deep cleaned to prevent abscesses in those areas. My vet said that when a dog has an abscess tooth they don't show pain like humans do. Only way you can tell is when they start to have bad breath. It can get so bad that the decay can go into the jawbone, and then it's too late. So make sure you brush your teeth on a regular basis and get her in your life for a check up and possible cleaning if needed. And then it's too late. So make sure you brush your teeth on a regular basis and get her in yearly for a check up and possible cleaning if needed. Good luck on getting yourself another Yorky! I'm sure the new puppy will help heal your heart from the loss of your other dog. Hope my information that I shared has helped!

Welcome to you and Lacey.

You're welcome. Hope I didn't scare you about the dental care part. It's just very important to make sure you keep your Yorky's teeth clean. Good luck to you on your search for your perfect little Yorky!

Please excuse the previous post that I made for all the errors. I had trouble posting it because halfway through, I lost the post on my screen, on my phone and had to start over. Looks like they combine both of them together, as well as me having several typos! I will proofread next time! Ha,ha,Ha!!!

Marydb · 03-05-2016, 10:07 AM

No problem! What toothpaste do you use for your yorkie?

Mclainc · 03-05-2016, 12:32 PM

I use Arm and Hammer advanced pet care Enzymatic toothpaste for dogs. It comes in different flavors.
