Yorkie Pee Bands???
 
Hello All,

I think I have to put my 5 yr old Yorkie in pee band. He is uncontrollably going everywhere in my room. I have a wee wee pad down as I don't walk him but I think now only 50% of the time he goes in the wee wee pad. All other times he lifts his leg at the corner of my bed, at the corner of my computer table, next to my computer chair. You get the idea. I am at my wits end. I have tried the apple spray and thoroughly cleaned where he goes with urine destroyer to no avail.

Any ideas on which brands work best?

Putting a belly band on is not going to to fix the problem just put a band aid over it. It also can cause rashes. Is he neutered? Start the potty training process from the beginning like he was a puppy. Don't give free run use a play pen or crate and lots of praise when he goes where he should. The apple spray is for chewing not peeing.

Has the Vet checked him out for an infection? I would definitely do this first.

I use regular baby diapers for my boys, masking tape to hold them together. Just wrap them around and tape them. I have used washable ones also and used nursing pads to help absorb. Disposable ones are great too, but so pricey, the Walmart diapers are much cheaper.
I tried hard to train them but gave up, they were stuck in the kitchen until I finally gave in and put wraps on them. Now they happily have the run of the house and I have peace of mind knowing they are not ruining my furniture. They use puppy pads for pooping. We take them out everyday and let them run around without the bands on they have never had an issue with rashes.

Pee problem
 
My Jojo has anxiety. So when I leave him in the home while I go out and run errands he will pee on things. He must get upset. Otherwise he goes outside. I get the Male wraps pads from petsmart. Yes expensive. A buck a pad! No rash but I wipe his belly after the pad is off. Yorkies have issues and this is one. Just wrap that boy and save your furniture!

I’m just a bit shocked at how ok some of y’all are with not having your dogs potty trained :eek:

Wow, you put up with this? My boy has some HUGE problems but I can't imagine just giving up on peeing and pooping everywhere.

Ditto that

It's not the dog that failed at being potty trained, it's the owner that failed. Potty training requires diligent consistency, schedules and lots of patience, praise and treats when they go where they are supposed to go. Patience, consistency, schedules is an absolute must in potty training.

francis53 12-16-2019 09:43 AM
Well, I just didn't give up, but my boys (at the time, I had 3) were marking everywhere. this works for us, they don't poop everywhere either, they are good about using the pad for that. She asked for advice on belly bands, lots of folks use them. I'm very happy with my decision, my boys are happily allowed full run of the house now and my furniture stays nice.

I think each Yorkie owner must decide (on an individual case basis) what is best for them and their babies. What is best for me might not work for someone else. Some furbaby parents don't want them sleeping with them at night. The first night I had Gidget she slept about 3 hours. She was in a crate which was placed on a table about 2 feet from my bed. She woke up at 3:00 in the morning and that was the beginning of the whining an barking. The next night I decided to put her in bed with me and that's where she's been ever since. It works for us even though others have criticized me for giving in to her. She's my companion and it works for us. Please don't judge how others respond to these delightful little creatures.

Exactly. In fact most of the time it’s the human not the dog. I’m not a fan of let’s get a dog and then not train them.

Well you are the one who said you gave up. I have 4 and they are all trained. Ollie my youngest wasn’t neutered until 9 months and he started to mark and I trained him not to. I would be embarrassed if my dogs weren’t potty trained and were wearing diapers because it reflects poorly on me not them.

Potty training is very different. While I do feel strongly about dogs being crate trained for many reasons like them needing to be use to it because a crate could be used at the groomer, the vets and in emergencies. I have seen poor stressed out pups at the vet not used to being in a crate and freaking out. Potty training though is a necessity and diapers are just not species appropriate and don’t fix something that could be fixed. If your not willing to at least potty train a dog then why get one? What happens if something happens to you and a friend or family member needs to care for your dogs but no one takes them because they aren’t potty trained. It’s just not feasible to not potty train.

Gidget is completely potty trained. When the weather is bad, she uses the pee pee pads. Otherwise, we take 2 or 3 walks outside so she can pee and poop but also for the exercise for both of us. She doesn't mind being in a crate at the groomers and she's also used to being in a carrier when we go someplace. She's happy either way. When we visit my daughter for a few days, I take the pee pads just in case we can't get outside as often. No problem.

Yeah I wasn’t talking about you with the potty training. I am jealous that she will go on pads and outside. Mine just go outside but we have weather sometimes that I hate them going out in like the middle of a hurricane and I wish they could use pads then. They are bigger though so it might be a lot of pee lol. Once during one of the bad hurricanes before it got here my dad cut a patch of grass out of the very back of our property so Callie could use it in the garage but she just wouldn’t.

Gidget is so flexible. She just "goes with the flow".

You sound like such a great loving yorkie parent!!

The onyl thing I disagree with is whether it's ever "best" to put yorkies in diapers for life. I get it if they are sick or have disablities ok, but to just say fine i will not stick with it to train 3 of you not to pee everywhere seems beyond belief.

(And sorry I know you have trained your baby, just dont know how to quote other posts right).

Ditto.

To to OP - I saw that in earlier threads you wrote that your boy goes mostly on the pee pad and occasionally marks, then you wrote later that you started using belly bands and that he started going less to the pad and more everywhere else.. don't you think the band/diaper is just not fixing the problem but actually making it worse? I 100% understand using the belly bands due to illness, incontinence, disability, old age and other specific cases but your boy is still young, but are you going to have him in a band/diaper forever? Why not take some time and patience and retrain him just like you would do a puppy? No free run of the house, potty schedule and positive reinforcement?

Hi there,
I need in on this conversation. I am in the process of adopting a 3 year old male that is not neutered. He will be once I adopt him. The breeder told me that she uses diapers.....YUCK...So, she was suggesting I do the same. I have had three Yorkies so far, and I never used diapers. I trained them to use pee pads and going outside. The issue will be if he is marking and peeing on furniture. So, I plan on training him like a puppy. At first, I will put pads out and take him outside together with my other Yorkie which is potty trained. If I see him marking, I will put him in the play pen.
Any input is appreciated. THANKS....

In my humbel opinion you are doing the right thing!!! Crate train him and don't put up with the horrible things other people seem to. Train the dog instead of having a disgusting problem with diapers and washing your yorkie's wee forever (off the floor and off his body). You will do great!!!!!!

I had an older Cocker Spaniel that we got as an adult....that was not housebroken well. He was a good boy, most of the time, but now and again, if you were not watching.....let's say/call it, he forgot. So I made him, "Belly Bands". I measured him, used a T-shirt like fabric, with human baby cloth diapers in between. I used Velcro to attach them over his back, I made 3 sets for washing. They worked Great. And I must also add, rarely did we/he need them, but when he did, I was so glad to have them on him.

I think your plan sounds pretty good to me. Sometimes having another Yorkies and seeing them go potty helps.

OH OH! I forgot to say.....with a Waterproof layer between the inside layers of diaper cloth and the outside layer of cotton/t shirt print! Woooooops! Sorry, and yeah, THAT matters. I made these about 8 inches wide. On a dog the size of a Yorkie, of course, I would have made them less wide.

Even grosser. How many things do you have to wash because you wont train? Sorry, you attacked me for not training my dog not to eat human feces in diapers.

Yet you want to give your dog away and sell him rather then train him.........

This was an older dog that we did not raise. WE DID work with him, but I did not want pee all over my house. So WHILE working with him, we put these on him. I removed them off of him as he went outdoors and put them back on when he came in.



You must have me confused with someone else. I attacked NO ONE. But yes. I would CERTAINLY keep a dog away from dirty diapers....ANY dog. Dirty Diapers should be kept away from all of us.....humans and animals.
