My little boy is almost grown up? 1 Attachment(s) Hello, my little boy's name is Toby. I got him at 4 mths. He will be 8 months this month. I guess he is not considered a puppy anymore but I still see him as my little boy. He's very friendly, full of energy and a little hard-headed.:eek: Still working on getting him to listen to me ALL the time. I think he is almost fully potty trained except when we do not see his signs. :( What I would like for him to do is learn to scratch the door or something to let us know he needs to be relieved. Don't know if this is possible.:rolleyes: Will keep my fingers crossed and keep trying to train him. I also want to learn to groom him--so good luck to me with that. He doesn't always stay still....This is the first dog I've ever owned and I did not know dogs (Yorkies) were this much work but soooo much fun! I am truly enjoying every moment with my little boy... |
He is adorable! |
Welcome to YT!! Your Toby is a cutie pie. :) |
I am new here to -- Hello from another newcomer. Your baby is a cutie...I am lovin the ear hair...so cute!!! |
Thanks Thank you all for the welcome and the nice comments! :) |
I am new here also, and a new Yorkie mama...... Your little guy is adorable...and my little guy looks just like him. Mine is about 6 1/2 mths old (we think)...and weighs 4.5 lbs. He is great...quite demanding of my time uh huh....NEEDY, HE IS. This is all new to us again....having a puppy. I didn't remember it being so much work. Ours is doing very well with potty training...I am a little nervous about winter coming up..not sure how that's going to work. Might have to get pee pads. How much does your little guy weigh? Nice to have a place to come for advice and maybe vent a little HAHA |
HI pionergal68...sorry it took a while to respond. I haven't had much time to do anything. Toby takes a lot of time...as you know from your cutie! Toby weighed 4.5 when he was 7 mths. I have not weighed him since but he feels heavier. He has a vet appt in Jan 11--I'll see how much he has gained. I am surprised he has gained weight because he is a very picky eater but only when it comes to his own dog food. I am having a hard time getting him to eat his food. He is willing to eat every other animals food--my cat's, the other dog's but not his! He also wants table food which we give him (in small quantities) but he eats very little of his own food and expects to eat our food...silly dog. So that's where we are at right now--finding a food he will eat willingly and not hold out sooo long before he decides to eat or before I hand feed him, hee hee. Hope all is good with your little one. Merry xmas! |
Welcome to all the newbies!! I'm a first time dog owner too. Don't know how much of a newbie I'd be considered, since I've been a yorkie mom for a little over a year. My little boy is 2 and I still consider him a pup! :D I never thought a tiny ball of fur could make me so happy and so worried all at once. :rolleyes: :p Feel free to ask away and share more pictures of your babies. As far as warning when they need to be let out, when Kaji first came home I would ask him "Do you need to go pee pee?" which was always followed with a trip outside. With enough repitetion, he knew what the phrase meant. Now, he will come paw at me, walk to the door then back to me, or something to get my attention. I'll ask "Do you need to go pee pee?" and he'll run and stand by the door as if saying, "Yes please!" They're smart little guys. :) |
He is just soooo cute!!!!!! |
Toby is adorable! Welcome to Yt! Have you considered teaching him to to ring ring a hanging bell? Friends of mine bought theirs at drsfostersandsmith.com. Yorkies catch on quickly as you know. Happy Holidays! |
Welcome to YT!!!! You have a darling little Yorkie!!! |
Your little boy is adorable and very much so still a puppy... I agree with DvlshAngel985 that you should use a phrase to ask him if he needs to go to the bathroom and make sure to ask him each time before you take him out. We us "Do you want to go outside?" to mean do you need to go potty, and they get to know to whine and then when you ask the question, my two get all riled up and I know they need to go potty. Good luck in your training! It's a lot of work, but they are well worth it all :D |
Welcome 2 YT! Toby is adorable! :) |
Toby is adorable! You can learn so much from the wonderful members of Yorkie Talk, and we are glad you are here. Although they are a lot of work, I'm sure you have already realized that our babies are a source of immeasurable love and joy in our lives. Wishing you much love, health, and happiness with Toby. |
Toby is absolutely gorgeous! Loving the ears too!! I had never owned a puppy before Gizmo - that was 14 years ago!!;) We lost little Gi in October and have a new baby ~ Teddi... Welcome to both of you & Happy Holidays! ♥ |
Toby is too cute! Welcome to YT! |
Your little Toby is precious!! He will always be your puppy. My little girl Daisy will be two years old January the 8th. |
Thanks again to all for the replies and suggestions. We do have a phrase for Toby and it is working more and more each time. I've noticed when it is wet outside because of the rain----he refuses to go potty outside! He runs back to the door. He is so funny and adorable! Right now I am trying to find him a food he will like and eat on his own without me forcing him to. Sometimes he won't eat til I am home but I have to beg him to eat and sometimes even hand feed him. Seems he likes my cat's food and everyone else's food but not his! Hee hee. Well once again thanks for the comments and I will definitely be asking you guys for advice and suggestions. Hope you all had a nice Xmas and New Year! Hugs and kisses! |

Our Yorkie is 8 months as well....and he is pretty much trained except like you said when we do respond to his signs. That's our fault. He loves to go for walks but here in MI its pretty cold right now so we limit it to 1 a day.....more for me than for him I expect. Yorkies are a lot of work.....you are right...but they are also very sweet. Our little guy can be hardheaded as well. Some walks don't go as well as others. LOL Enjoy your little guy. |
I have a new log in name.....it used to be pionergal......now is vhgirl68. I have had trouble signing into this site a lot and hope it's fixed now. My little guy is really growing up too.......he is hardheaded as well but can also be so sweet. He wants to be right by us all the time.....he is our shadow. When my hubby comes home it's his turn LOL. Jasper (my little guy) is doing very well with housetraining.....and getting better on the leash. So we are gaining I think. I didn't remember dogs being this much work though.......but I think he is worth it. I just do not know how to put a picture of my little guy on here yet......HELP |
