It's a miracle!! He's potty trained!! Okay, I had to share this story about my Oscar--maybe someone has some ideas as to how this came about.... A few weeks ago I had to leave town for several days because of a death in my family, and my 7 mo. old, 8 lb. Oscar stayed with my friends, Angel and Al. Oscar's stayed with them before and he's buddies with their three rescue Boxers. Well, when I left, Oscar wasn't totally potty trained. He would pee on command outside and pee on piddle pads when he was gated in the bathroom, but there were the frequent oopses, and he still always pooped on the carpet. I had just come to accept that it could be up to a year before he really understood it. Anyway, when I got back home, he had been with Angel and Al for five days. They said he only had two accidents! I was amazed. They have a doggy door, and whenever one of the Boxers went outside, Oscar would follow and go potty. Well, I've had him back for two weeks now, and he hasn't had a single accident! I work the night shift, and my mom's visiting. So every morning around four or five he paws on her to wake her up so she'll let him out. The other night he didn't wake her up at all and had no accidents. He held it for nine hours!!! I do have another dog, but Oscar didn't pick up the potty training from him. Angel and Al are amazed--they said they didn't do anything special. Apparently the lightbulb came on! Just wanted to share as I am ecstatic!! :jump28ib: |

Congratulations!!! That's fantastic - I'm so jealous! |
Kids will always behave well for anyone but their parents!!!! We tried to teach Higgins to "sit" with no luck in even getting his attention, let alone getting him to sit. So we gave up. Then a visiting friend who was playing with Higgins told him to "sit" and his little butt hit the floor so fast it was funny! And he did it every time he was told, too. Now he will do it for us, too. Every once in awhile, I think he's FINALLY housetrained and then he........... :( Maybe he needs to go visiting............ |
Congrats! Sammi is 18months old and stilllllll does pee pee on the floor...She usually does this if she gets yelled at for doing something she is not supposed to LIKE.... Running through the house with toilet paper...or shredding tissues!! |
Way to go Oscar. Im so happy for you. Congratulations. You are a big boy now. :congrats: :bravo: :thumbs_up Yorkierose, you a re so funny. But guess what sometimes I do the same with Gucci. I love that show also on Animal Planet. :D |

Oscar is very surprised by the response.....he is blushing uncontrollably right now :o |
Congratulations! Thats great news, his boxer friend must be a good influence on him ;) |
Potty Training I just got my first Yorkie, and am very HAPPY!!! :) :) :) What I didn't know, was that potty training was going to be so hard!!!! I don,t mind, he is worth every bit that it will take to get him there. My question is Why is it so hard, & WHY does it take so long? They are very smart, & willing to please. Also, what about the nipping? Does that go away too? :confused: Love my little guy : :yorkietal |
congratulations Oscar (and mommy). |
Congratulations! Quite an accomplishment :) |

Go Higgens - I love hearing your butt hit the floor I just love potty training threads with a happy ending ! |
Congratulations! Chewy is nowhere near trained with the poop. Just tonight my son called out to me for help. I ran in, no idea what was wrong and he was standing there with squished poop on the bottom of his foot!!! He made me promise not to tell anyone because he doesn't want people to know that he's a "poo stepper". Ya'll can keep a secret, right? |
Congratulations! i wish I could say the same thing, It sure is hard to train them. |
I'm really happy for you but extremely jealous of you :( I just want Coco's lightbulb to go on toooooo :rolleyes: |
Thanks for the great response guys! Tonight I saw Angel, of the now infamous "Camp Angel and Al". When I told her about this thread and the responses she thought it was so funny. Here's another story, and it's related to going potty. Last night when I was at work, my mom (yes, still visiting...) called and said I had to come home right away because of Oscar. My heart leapt into my throat, but it turns out everything was okay. Oscar woke her up at just after 4am to go potty. Mom has an artificial leg, and at night she gets around on crutches. She went over to a chair by the door and snapped Oscar's line on him (I bring it in under the door so letting him out is easier). Well, little Oscar decided to get wrapped around one of my planters. Mom couldn't get out to him and she was beside herself. When she called and told me I said he would be fine, the weather was nice, and I'd be home in a couple of hours. I got home and there was little Oscar looking so relieved to see me! I let him in the house and, this little dog that never barks, just started barking and barking at me. It was like he was saying, "Mom, Gwandma left me ouwtside and fowgot abowt me!!!!! :mad: " It was soooo cute! |
YAY Oscar !!!!!!!! Mya was trained early but now is doing the missing the pee pee pad by an inch thing. It started today after we steam cleaned the carpets......lol |
