| Morkie Help !!! Hi. I recently bought a morkie. He's 8 weeks old and I'm trying to potty train him. He pees on the pee pee pad most of the time but then sometimes he pees somewhere else. Why is that? Also, he wouldn't poo on his pee pee pad so I would bring him outside but he wont do it there either. So I decided to put 2 pee pee pads and now he poops on either one. Is it too soon to potty train him? Also, he doesn't go in his crate and cries when I leave him. What should I do? Please help!!

| 8 weeks old is young if your lookiing for perfection. It is a good start. I took my Lola hom at 8 weeks and we too started training. I gated the kitchen area at meal time and put down 6 pee pads (i made one giant pee pad). After she ate and was ready to to her business the chances of her using a pad was better with 6 pads. She got the idea in a few days. It's really important to watch them so you can reward them with a treat and praise atfer they use the pad, if you delay one minute they are clueless as to why your giving them a treat. Good luck~ |

| Hi. Thank you for your advice. Ever since my last post he's been pooping on his pee pee pads which is great but he misses the pee pee pad when he pees. Sometimes he just picks a spot and pees there. Sometimes they're the same spot so I spray it with odor, stain, and urine remover then spray it again with carpet odor eliminator specifically for pets. But sometimes he still does it on the same spot! As for crate training, he hates it! He cries all night long and finds ways to get himself out of it. He sleeps with me now which I don't mind but every puppy book I read says that it's bad and that I'm not teaching him who's boss. yada yada. i mean,,, he's 2.5 pounds. When I wake up in the morning, he's already awake and has peed and pooped on his pad. Sometimes he misses the pad but 90 % of the time, he does it right. Sorry this is so long. i just have one more question.. is it okay for me to train him without a crate? Any advice will be appreciated! thank you
