| help please Hello everyone, i am hoping that you can give me some advise, I have a 10 month old female Yorkie Mini, since I had her at 8 weeks old she is not clean indoors,she will not go outside to go toilet she will do it indoors on her bed or where ever she feels like it. I have three other larger breeds and they all sleep together, but because she is not clean they are all having to lay in her dirt, so every day twice I clean the beding and clean the whole area that they have. I have tried to leave her with the other dogs outside for as long as I can,, but she still will go tolet indoors. I am at my wits end and considering re homing her because I just cant keep up with what she is doing. I do work, which I think is not helping the situation, but I have someone who comes in to let all the dogs out twice a day until I get home, but even when I have here over the week ends and let them out regularly this dos not work. I have tried using a dog pen but to no use, she still wees in that also. Please please can anyone give me some advise please. I love her so much but this is really getting to much to cope with. She is a strong minded little girl and if I tell her off she will ignore me and keep away from me, I have never raised my hand to her never, but if I shout at her telling her NO if she has again peed, she gets scared, I just cant figure any of this out. My other young male is now weeing also, and he was clean before I had her. PLEASE HELP ME |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I think you need to try the tethering method when you're home with her. Also, did you read the potty training sticky threads in General Training?

| Thank you for your comment I do not think that tethering is a good Idea in my case, because what happens at night and when no one is here, she dose not go into a dog cage and when I tried that she screams the house down, so I put my jack russell in with her, but that did not help, they both got very stressed. so again tethering is not a good idea if your not at home all the time. so is there anyone else with a better idea please, someone must have the same problem as I am having? and there must be an answer out there thanks you |

| What is your Yorkies weight. How small is she? Are your other dogs big dogs? Remember she is still just a baby and if shes a small baby she need alot of care, Just putting her out with the other dogs isn't the answer. It takes time and care to bring these babys around. Maybe the Yorkie breed just isn't for you. I think she is scared and confused . |

| Thank you for your comment I am happy to get advise from anyone within this forum and thank you for the last comment placed on this post. I would though like to say that, the older dog that I own are two small sized Jack Russell's and one Staff female who is 8 years old and very calm in her behaviour, the Jack russells are 9 and 2 years old, my little girl yorkie called Bella is great friends with all of them, she sleeps and goes where ever they all go, I can honestly say that the relationship that she has with the other dogs has not and was never a concern to her, she snuggles up to all of them at bed time, so I do not think that the other dogs or her being scared by them is the concern here. When she goes out with them if anything she is playing around with them and I have never seen any concerning behaviour by any of the other dogs towards her. She is loved very much by all of her human friends in the family as well as her doggie companions. I do strongly believe that a Yorkshire Terrier whether miniture or standard is the right dog for me, I have had a standard size yorkshire terrier about 8 years ago, she lived until she was 18 years old. I would appreciate help with my problem in a positive way and not in a negative way please. Bella is a mini and like I said 10 months old. Thank You |

| I had a pack of 3 female yorkies, (all now passed) all 3 years apart. Got each one at 8 weeks old, each baby I got was confined to a 3x5 area with food, water, bed at one end, pad at the other end. I had had a full time job also. ALL my puppies were 100% pad trained at 5 months old with NO accidents. There were then given free roam of the house. At 5 months they had all their shots so outdoor training began. My dogs were on a food and walk schedule , they were fed at 7AM, walked at 7:30AM,even if they already used the pad they were walked ANYWAY. Evening they were walked as soon as I came home 4:30 PM, ate at 5PM walked again at 5:30PM, then last pee-pee was just curb side at 10PM. by 7 months old my pups were 100% house broken with NO accidents and the pad was removed. scheduled feedings and outside potty time is a MUST. Dogs are creatures of habit, they have little built in alarm clocks that let them know when it's time to eat and potty. Consistency is the KEY word. Feed, potty time , same time every morning and night. THIS is what worked for me and I am on yorkie # 5. Your baby is now 10 months old, has started bad habits. When you go to work she must be confined in a small area with her food, water and pad, away from the other dogs, let her cry. When it's potty time put harness and leash on her and WALK her in your yard, NO playing with the other dogs, she needs to LEARN at a certain time outside is for POTTY NOT PLAYING. She is just a baby, so when she is let outside with the other dogs, sure, all she wants to do is play. It is up to US their caregivers to TEACH THEM what we expect from them. Each dog like humans are different, but, dogs MUST be on a food and potty schedule. And YOU must be consistent with this. Feed, start off with 30 minutes after she eats then take her out, even if she made some where else, take her out anyway. She may have to make sooner or later then 30 minutes, this you will see. If she makes 15 minutes after she eats, then you know take her out at that time, but, harness and leash her, walk her around the yard. Good luck.

| Foot note, PATIENCE NO scolding, NO raised voice when she makes where ever the mood strikes her. You do not want to instill fear in her, be afraid of you, you are the pack leader, you want her to respect you, not fear you. Consistency and PATIENCE are KEY to potty training yorkies, what worked for your other dogs may not work for Bella. It may be more time consuming now because she has gotten use to using the house as her potty area, reason why confining her is a MUST, and NOT a CRATE, x-pen or Iris pen is ok, there she will have room for bed, food, water, pad and play space. Also weight of Bella is important, if she is a wee lil girl, 5 pounds or under these tiny's have smaller bladders and cannot hold urine for long periods of time.

| I would also agree that each dog is potty trained differently. Unlike my older boy Scottie who is 5.5 pounds, my girl Casie who is 4.5 pounds could not be crate trained. She pees a lot throughout the day because her bladder is smaller. I spent a great deal of time, effort, and patience to get her accustomed to peeing on the pee pad. They need schedule and routine. If you feel strongly that the Yorkie breed is right for you, then it's possible that you need to put in the effort of potty training her in a way that works for her. Thus far, it seems that having her potty with your other dogs isn't working. Like others, I would also recommend you change try putting her in a confined space, such as a xpen with a pee pad. Only let her roam freely after she has gone potty. You need to prevent all the accidents happening around your house and on your bed. If her accidents are happening at night, then I'd say that that's when she definitely needs to be in the xpen. The crying will eventually stop. It's part of the potty training of Yorkie puppies. Both of mine were not reliably potty trained until over 1 years old.
