skittles We have a 4 mo puppy named skittles. New to Yorkies...and training indoors. Skittles will "go" in the designated area when I take her. If I stay alert enough, there are very few accidents. However, if I don't anticipate when she needs to "go", she will still "go" anywhere. Am I on the correct track? If I continue to take her to one spot indoors, will she eventually understand this is where she needs to go. So far, she doesnt' seem to understand that at all, but we have not "fussed" when she goes in the wrong spot...the books say not to fuss at her. Haven't had a dog for over 18 years, and way back then we only had Dobermans, so this is a big change for us. Help! |
If you catch her going in the wrong spot you tell her a firm no and when she does go in the right spot give her a treat and tell her how good she is. She is still pretty young so you have a while to go just keep it up and be consistent. |
Thanks for the advice ... yesterday she actually went to the designated place twice by herself....so I have hope! Of course within a few minutes she went in the kitchen floor also...but I think the firm "no's" are helping. This little yorkie seems VERY smart. Having trouble finding myself on this forum, but I'll figure it out. Skittles gets her first grooming Sunday, we are so excited! |
When I had puppies and they had accidents in a firm voice I told them, no pee pee on the floor, pick them up, put them on the pad and said pee pee on the pad. |
