| I think it took just about a year for our Yoda. Good luck on your housebreaking... |

| We are so very proud of Toto for this accomplishment!! She is soooo cute when she goes towards the room where her wee wee pad is kept because she rarely leaves the room where we are! Makes her look like a "big girl" ... the same feeling I got when Amanda went to her classroom for the first time without holding my hand!! aka ... "mixed emotions"!!

| Completely House Trained! My male Artie is 1 yr. and 3 months he was completely house trained at 5 months old! With no accidents, since he loves to go outside. He is very social and has to have an hour long walk once at 7 am. and then he goes to the Dog Park for another hour. He walks again for an hour at 6 pm. and his last walk just to go potty/pooh is at 10:30 pm. Every day rain or shine. He used to have a complex and wouldn't go pooh in front of me, only my Husband? But he just grew out of it in the past couple of months. |

| Housebreaking Our puppy is 4 months old. For my birthday, my husband got me a dog door and put it in our back door. Brady very quickly learned that he could go in and out as he pleased. Yeah! No more accidents after that. (Happy birthday to us-haha) |

| Given up.. Ok I have had other kinds of dogs in the past and they were all housebroken, heck my cocker I had for 12 years was house broken at 8 weeks, could hold it until the cows come home. And nothing less was ever accepted. BUT Now I just hope Matise hits the pee pee pad when he goes in the house, or that I find it before it dries.... I've tried everything. Avoidence, crate, pee pee pads, pow pow. and I am just completely exhausted on this subject. At least he pees like a little girl and doesn't hike his leg. I don't understand why I am willing to just accept it... I always heard that some yorkies were hard to house train. But it seems impossible to get through to his little head that there will be no pee pee in the house unless it is on a pee pee pad. I don't know if it is size or what, why I have become so obtuse?.

| Our zoe is 21/2 and she was 8 weeks when we got her...she was completely trained at 12 weeks...she did awesome....we did the reward with treats....although at first it was confusing for her because she thought all she had to do was get all four feet out the door and then come right back in and she would recieve the treat and we went along with that for awhile but when we started having to take out a loan for all the treats we were going through we put an end to that....it helps that I stayed home with her all day....It took alot of time those weeks while we were training but it paid off.....i guess I was really lucky....(we still give treats for going outside) Zoe's mommy...hope we will be that lucky with the new puppy... |
