training yorkies to use a litter box Hello Everyone I am new to the site as I am a new yorkie owner. I just got Bella 6 days ago and she is 2 months old. So far she is pretty well behaved but I would like to train her to use a litter box. I live in an apartment on the 16th floor so outside is not the best but I am trying to train her with puppy pads and then move them into a litter box. So far she is using the pads at night but when she has more access to the apartment she goes anywhere but the pads. I put her on the pad when I catch her attempting the act but then she waits and then goes on the carpet later..lol. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me? Much Thanks Jen |
We tried the puppy litter and Gracie ended up playing with it and tried to eat it. It never worked for us. Best of luck to you with this. |
i'm bumping this thread, seeing as i am showing more interest in litter box training due to living up north and it's always raining and snowing, so outside potty isn't always an option. :) would love to have more info on litterbox training for yorkies! |
Milo is 7 weeks, and seems to prefer newpaper sheets than pads. He *sometimes* goes to the newspaper, but doesn't like the pads. |
Most of my dogs are litterbox trained. I start them out on puppy pads. When they are doing well on those I move them into an empty litterbox. I slowly add litter under the pad so that they can get used to the texture difference. Once they are going well in the litterbox with the litter under the pad I simply remove the pad. For my boys there's a box behind the litterbox that I hang a puppypad on so they have something to aim at when they lift their leg. |

My little Maggie who is 8 weeks old today WILL NOT go on the puppy pad. I also live in an apartment and trying the litter box. She will go in it when I am not there (sometimes....on the floor also, even though I have newspaper down). But when I am home with her she wants to go on the carpet every chance she gets. I am constantly watching her and when I see her "hunched" I take her to the litter box. Sometimes she just sits in the litter and pouts. I don't know if I am confusing her since I sometimes take her outside, and I have newspaper down, and a litter box. Oh....and she loves to dig in the litter and it goes everywhere! |
Eloise uses a litter box! We started off with the puppy pads, and then moved them into the box. As for litter, it wasn't so successful. She just tries to eat it. :rolleyes: Over all, the pads in the box work pretty good. She does have accidents but most of the time she walks right to the pad and goes. :aimeeyork |
