YorkieTalk Newbie! | Wee Wee Pads Training I use the crate at night beside my bed that way I hear my little buddy and get him up and take him straight to the pen to the wee pads and he uses it really good. Glad to hear he went in the pen instead of the crate at least this sounds like what you were saying. Congrats on that. I also leave my little buddy in the pen with a little bed, toys, water, food and the wee pads. I was afraid to put the crate in there and leave it open because I was afraid he might jump up on the crate and out of the pen. As for the Petsmart thing. I have also signed up for these classes because I have had a time with him nipping us, biting and barking alot at this time. I think he is playing but he gets so rough and bites us all till we bleed sometimes. But like you said they will not take them until you can show proof of having all the shots. Mine also loved to eat his poop. I ended up buying some stuff to put on it and this lady who her father use to be a vet said that he must be missing some vitamin of some sort so I bought him a multivitamin to take. He finally got over it but he is back at it again. It does take alot of patience with them. I believe mine was taken away too soon from the parents and brothers etc. I got him at 8 weeks. He is now 16 weeks. As for the wee wee pads I also bought a plastic thing to put one in and I also have several others pads around it. So all of this is to one side of my pen. Then I have the little bed and this basket thing with his toys in it and the water/food bowls over on the other side. I also give him a treat everytime he goes on the pads. I leave the gate open for him to go in and out when I am at home and can watch him otherwise he stays in there when I can't supervise him. When I notice him sniffing on the floor I will say go in there to potty. If I catch him in time he goes right on in there and does his business. I hope this has been some help. I can't wait until I can get him outside to use the bathroom. It is just so cold right now and he doesn't know what to make of the leash.....so I am hoping the classes will help. I might take him outside tomorrow if it is warm and see what he does. My problem now is he has figured out how to cauk his leg up and sometimes it goes everywhere even outside of the pen off the wee wee pads. I am having a hard time finding some really thick kind to hold all of the pee he does. I try changing them but I have to do it when someone takes him out of the room because he gets mad when I change them. My husband said he has marked his territory and he doesn't want you to mess with them...isn't that something. You would think he would like to have a clean place to pee. Again I hope this helps in some way....it does get frustrating but hang in there. Try doing the treats everytime she goes on the pads. Buddy just loves the praise that I give him and he expects a treat when he does it. He will come running over to me and looks at me like ok..... If I can help any more just let me know. I will try. I am learning as well. Good Luck with your little girl. |

| Good Morning All, I wanted to give you guys some updates on how my weekend went with my little princess. So Friday night. I had susanldm advice in mind. I put her right next to my bed. Only thing I didnt do was put her in the kennel what I did was put her in her bed that she sleeps with during the day. Its like I had an alarm clock everytime I heard her move I'd wake up.. So I woke up at about 2am took her out to the pen to do potty she did it. I was so proud. Then off to bed again. Then again at 7am on Saturday she tinkled then off to bed again. Wasn't til yesterday since it was such a beautiful day out we took her outside to the yard. There is a dog next door to me that was there and she was just so happy to have a friend. She actually went poopy.. I wasn't personally there because I had to run errands but hey my boyfriend took pictures LOL!! So since I'm on sequence I wake up for her without having to put her in the kennel. Tonight I'm gonna try to put her in the kennel but keep her near my bed of course and continue to wake up to take her out. What do you guys think? Am I doing everything good so far? Have in mind this is my very first puppy and I'm just so eager to have her learn.. Also I like to add I enrolled her in puppy education in Petsmart I can't wait to go to our very first class. |
