SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO REALIZE DOGS CAN BE BAD....ITS NOT ALWAY THE HUMAN:mad:

We are only giving you our opinions and suggestions. Just read your last post I think it's best to rehome Parker as well.

You can think I'm a terrible pet owner and maybe I am, but we and I say "we" have decided to rehome Parker. I just cant spend 24/7 with him and let my family suffer for it. Maybe he needs a home where no one works and can work with him more or better than I have. I am at my wits end. I have tried everything except the leash on the house thing and that is just not feasible for me. The stains are all urine. We tested that by putting milk and juice and pop on carpet and letting it dry and putting the black light over it. Nothing showed up. As for a trainer. We have none in our area that will come to the house. Have to go to Indy and it is way too expensive. Yes I may be a bad person, but I am keeping Maddie. This little girl has great bladder control. She too is on the same schedule as Parker and she will not pee in her crate. I do watch them outside to see if they are doing what they need to be doing before bringing them inside. Please trust that Parker is a sweetheart and I would never pass him off to another family without feeling like i've done all I can. His decision in no only my hubbys but also my own. You would not believe the day I had with him yesterday and I cant take it any longer. I truely feel like I've done all I can do.. Rather you agree or not... ok here is his schedule:

Parker gets up around 5:30 in the morning. We carry him out of his cage and to outside where he will pee and poo. He comes inside and goes back to sleep with me in my bed for 1 hr. I get up take him back outside he will just pee. I put him in the crate and feed him. After 20=30 minutes, I take him outside and he pee and poos again. Lately he has been pee and poo on the deck. I dont take him out on a leash, I just walk out with him since our yard is fenced in and we spent 2000.00 doing it for him. He comes back inside and plays in the family room with me for 20 min to 1/2 hr. Then I have to finish getting ready for work so he goes back into his crate. He will stay there till 12:00. I come home carry him outside and he will pee and poo. He does pee several times in his crate on the pee pad i spend about 20 minutes with him playing take back outside he pee and then I'm back to work. Hubby comes home takes him outside he pees and then directly back into the crate for supper. after about 20=30 min. he lets him back outside where he poo and pee and comes back in and plays. We watch him all the time and occassionally he will run into the other room and we yell and he comes directly back. *which i think he's been peeing. we talk him out every 1/2 hour after wards. around 9:00 i take his water away. usually around 10o or so I put him back into his crate and 10:30 back outside and he pee and poos in that 1/2 hr he pee in the crate. He comes back in and plays til 11L00 back outside pee and then to bed. in the mean time I think when he runs into the other room or he hind something he pee within a instant. That is what I dont understand. I really do have him on a sch. and I really do watch him, but after the black light test there were pee marks and marking stuff everywhere. He still squats. He has been fixed at 4 months. He will use the pee pads outside the cage and pee sometime within the 1/2 hr. or sometimes he will ring the bells at the back door. Lately he wants to pee on the deck. He pees in his crate, he will also pee on the pads sometimes.

Thank you for all your advice rather I liked it or not I guess I ask for it.. But this is the best thing.. Sometimes it just doesnt work out..... Parker will not be going to just any old home. I believe I've found a good one from someone here on yt. Anyone who wants to take on this responsiblity is a better person then I. I'm checking this persons ref. first. they are at home all day long and do have other yorkies. Sorry if you dont agree with this, but it is best... It wont be easy because i do love this little guy and spoil him to death!!!!

I know its upsetting when they go on the carpet - I feel for her having to get rid of Parker and what she must be going through... I always tell the folks that get one of my puppies that if it does not work out I will take them back.. My husband built a room for the dogs and they cannot hurt anything... I am getting ready to furnish it with their own sofa and chairs and a tv !!!! Am I crazy?

He said when he let Parker out today, He came back in and jumped on hubbys lap and peed on him.... and if you have read my previous thread about Parker you will understand how bad its been. My hubby said he didnt call me yet cause he was soooo mad and trying to calm down. He said he feels really bad and hated to tell me, but I must find Parker a new home that he has had enough. He said he know how much I love him and that this is going to be really hard. but he cant take it anymore. and it just puts him in a bad mood. Parker is such a sweety too. He love to cuddle and had a great personality... What am I going to do. He said I could wait til Lauryn My daughter gets home from Maine on the 9th before I do it, but I must do it. How am I going to live without this little guy. How will I find him a home who loves him just as much as I do and who will spoil him the way I do??? Who will give him a good home knowing he has this peeing problem so bad... I put the belly band on him last night, took him outside 2 times w/in one hour and i went with him. He did pee, and also I had to change his belly band 3 times within that hour he had peed so much. He is really not drinking alot of water to make him do this.... anyways he smelled so bad after this that hubby had to give him another bath. I just do not know how to live without him.....:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: Why cant men be more understanding?????????????????????????????????????

So if there is no suggestion here that you havent tried or some you wont try but, some you will BUT hubby wont let you try those, maybe the dog would be better off in a new home especially if it means putting a strain on your marriage. I honestly understand how it is when hubby just dont want to cooperate. But you did seem to ask for help and I think everyone tried but in the end its seems to be a problem only you and your husband can work out. so goodluck.

I doubt your 2 year old was potty trained at birth, so why would you or your husband expect so much from a poor little puppy???? I think poor Parker is just exhausted from all of the expectations of him. Potty training can be frustrating but no one said it was easy, you needed patience. But if you can't give that to him maybe rehoming him to someone who will is best for him.

So say whatever.. I really cant believe how mean everyone has been to me... I did really enjoy this forum but I will never return... I have met some really good friends on here and will continue to talk to them. Maybe everyone should take a look at there own lives... what works for some doesnt work for others.

Administration.... Please close this forum.. I am tired of the abuse. How dare people acting like Parker is abused and so much is expected.. He is one of the spoilest dogs I know!!!! And is loved beyond belief!!!! I'm tired of crying my eyes out over that you guys have to say... Its hard enough as it is.... I guess all in all it was my fault for turning to you for help... Sincerely, Denise

For all of you guys that have pm me personally and DOOOO understand.. I thank you from the bottom of my heart...You guys are good people and thats what make the world go round.

Denise, good luck with whatever decision you make. Your marriage and child come first, (as they should) and yet I can't comprehend how difficult it will be to give up your furbaby. Some of us will be here for you if that's what you end up having to do.

But I think that another important point to remember is that sometimes, the animal/human match is just not a good one, for WHATEVER reasons.

It sounds to me like Denise and her family have tried and tried with Parker, and it's not our place to judge whether or not her methods of "trying" were the same as OUR methods of "trying" would have been. We don't live in her shoes, or her house, or her family, or her life. Bottom line is, she loved Parker, and she spent a lot of time and money and emotions and energy trying to help him fit into their life, and it just didn't work.

Now she's made the decision to give him a fresh chance in a new home, and I think that's her final act of love and kindness towards him as an owner. Good for her putting her marriage and her family first. And blessings on Parker and his new owner.

none of us are in those shoes. we all come from different places and different backgrounds. so let us not be so judgemental. i'm not just talking about this one thread, but i know i've been "bashed" on here too and it's very much pointless.

it is true that not all dogs can be potty trained.

this is specially true for purebreds.

she has to consider the feelings of those who live with her. finding a yorkie a new home is NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

please, back off and give this girl a break.

If administration can delete this thread as Denise requested, GREAT, if not, please, after Denise's last post, let this be the LAST post. I never realized how cruel some are here. :thumbdown
