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 agree.
Denise, after reading the posts I think you are over it. I think what is best now is to post him on YT to find him a new home. I am sure someone here will buy him. He is a beautiful dog.
SOmetimes a true animal lover must let one go of their furbaby if they know that they cannot provide them with the things that they need. ( training) This is a tough choice but you can keep in contact with the new owner (?)and may find out that he is doing great in a new home.

what would everybody think if the administrator just closed this thread now? I think it would be good since she said they have their minds made up. If she wants to talk about it anymore she can start a new thread and let us know what happens to Parker.

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.

I agree - it's unrealistic to expect a puppy to be reliably housetrained so quickly. But the fact is, that is the fiance's expectation. No puppy needs to live in an environment where more is expected of him than he is able to provide, so the best thing for all concerned is to put the puppy into a home where the expectations of him ARE realistic.

ok let me first start by saying.... You guys have no idea.. I do not expect too much from expected Parker. For ANY dog to pee 4-5 times in one hour is crazy... That is not being realistic!!!!! 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.

I don't think anyone has been mean, but everyone is more worried about poor Parker. HE has to deal with all the changes and a new home. Yes sometiems a puppy can pee 4-5 times an hour. They have SMALL bladders. I think that you only want to hear positive things about yourself and your decision, and everyone has different opinions. If you are going to post, you have to accept negative as well as positive opinions. Some puppies are easier than others, but if everyone gave up, we'd have even more rehoming than we already do. But I can see that Parker needs more attention and patience so rehoming him is probably best.

Once again, someone came for help and support...and it didn't take long for the bashing to begin. I feel for this poor woman. She turned here for support. I know yorkietalk can be a great place for help and am always amazed and dissappointed when it turns nasty.

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.

[TootiesMom]

Yea, Ditto That!!!!!

I totally agree . . . we are losing great people because of all these hurtful comments. We do have a lot of passionate yorkie mommies here and oftentimes we forget to double check our messages when we post . . .

I think everyone here feels passionately that when you bring an animal into your home, you are (SHOULD) be making a contract of responsibility and commitment to them.

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.

Geez this has been a nasty Thread. But Denise, I hope you do the best thing for you and your family. I dont have kids yet...but im sure the day i do, my kids are going to come first. Im sure that everything will turn up for the best. Take care

That she did and MORE . . .she found a wonderful YT member who want to take Parker . . .and she is just as doting as Denise . . . and the best part of all . . .we will continue to hear about Parker and get to see him grow. I just wish Denise will change her mind about leaving YT

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.

Mikey, once again you've impressed me with your maturity.

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.

[Tashasmom]

I hope she doesn't leave either..

Honestly this is ridiculous. NO ONE has been cruel to her. Everyone has stated the facts :you can't expect a 7 month old puppy to be 100% potty trained. SHEEEE came on here complaining about her husband and how we can help get her to change his mind, then that went to "WELL IT'S ACTUALLY MY CHOICE TOO" So the story has changed a couple of times. Yet I see no rude or cruelness just people laying out their opinions and the facts as they see it. No one has banished her, that is her choice. Lots of people have rehomed their dogs, she was looking for an answer to avoid rehoming and that is what people provided her with. I'm really tired of people coming on here, blaming the poor dog, then expecting sympathy from everyone. Sorry I have sympathy for the dog.
