In my opinion you should re-home your Tanner. You sound like a person of average intelligence. Why then, have you not done searches on this site, and elsewhere on the internet, to discover that...
1.. Yorkies are one of the hardest breeds to housebreak.
2. Puppies should only be crated for short amounts of time. Not even the smartest, most obedient, loyal puppy will be able to hold their urine for very long.
3. Crates should be small (according to size of dog)

I'm sad for Tanner, because he should be romping and playing and doing puppy things. I'm sad for you because I don't believe you really want this baby, and he is a baby, but are trying to stick with it because of your girlfriend.

Arm yourself with knowledge. There are a lot of people here who would love to help you. Please don't use YT for your own amusement. We have many new people every day who appreciate and accept the opinions and suggestions the YTers give, even if they disagree. this is why people come to this site.... For opinions and suggestions, not arguements and what comes off as "disrespect" of Tanner or any other animal.

Go that right!

Please hire someone to come to your house and let Tanner out during the day. He should not be crated that long. It's really going to result in a problematic dog, and it's such a sad life for a dog to be crated 20hours a day. I know where I live there is a great pet sitter that charges $16. I've only used her to take care of my cats while I'm out of town, but it's a great option if I ever need someone to walk Lacy for me if for some reason I have to leave her at home longer than I thought. I'm sure you can find someone who will come to your house and let Tanner out to potty and play with him a while. He's never going to be potty trained the way things are going now. Dogs don't train themselves. And he's really going to have some socialization issues as he gets older being alone as much as he is...especially during this critical time in his life. If you're determined to keep this baby, please do all you can to give it a quality life.

I treat him just fine....hell, I had to give him ANOTHER bath today...this is turning out to be a daily thing. Honestly, do you really believe this is what I want to do when I come home from work?? I have to though, so urine doesn't spread around the house.

patty58 · 06-21-2007, 02:58 PM

And you wonder why he was shivering in his towel. By the tone of your post you sounded very angry with him and I will bet you showed it when you were "gently" giving him and warm bath. Did you love on him or shout at him. Do you honestly think Tanner WANTS to lay in his own urine? Please if you can't learn to at least be able to pleasantly tolerate Tanner....helll, send him to me and I will love on him. Patty

Jeez, I wouldn't yell at the dog while bathing him...I didn't say a word. I just did it.

If I was neglectful, I wouldn't bathe him at all.

patty58 · 06-21-2007, 03:27 PM

There is a BIG difference between being neglectful (which I didn't accuse you of) and really loving an animal.

drawlins27 · 06-21-2007, 03:40 PM

Well actually you are being neglectful because its YOUR fault that he's sleeping in his own urine. He may be a sweet little puppy now, but keep this up and you're going to have an aggressive dog on your hands that bites. You obviously don't want him. Have you called the breeder? She would probably be willing to take him back.

And you cannot continue to give him a bath everyday. You're going to dry his skin and coat out and cause skin irritation.

You ARE neglectful because it IS neglectful to leave a little puppy crated for 20 hours a day!!! And, it's YOUR (and Heidi's) fault that the puppy is laying in his own urine!!!

You can't continue to bathe him everyday like that!! Why don't you work on correcting the problem and spending more time to teach him than to just give him a bath everyday so he doesn't get urine in your damn house!

If feel sorry for little Tanner and would gladly take him off your hands and care for him and give him the love and understanding he needs. You have no clue!

chachi · 06-21-2007, 03:49 PM

You really need to get an xpen it would solve all your problems. Also with the hours that you are away you should peepad train Tanner rather than outside train

littlewhip · 06-21-2007, 03:50 PM

Poor tanner

he needs love & attention, bathing him everyday is not good, please get the xpen everyone is telling you about, then you wont have have that daily chore.

pea496 · 06-21-2007, 03:54 PM

Do you really think he has a Tanner (or a Heidi for that matter)?

I think he does.....I just think he's a VERY arrogant control freak who is EXTREMELY ignorant. I don't think he likes dogs, he's more of a cat person. He should just stick to cats, he doesn't get how to train a dog. If I were Heidi, I'd take little Tanner and run as far away from him as I could.

Catrina · 06-21-2007, 04:08 PM

PLEASE REHOME HIM IF U CANNOT TAKE CARE OF HIM!! And please don't say you know how to take care of him because obviously you dont. Just rehome him!
