Urgent Help Needed

[hha]

I've had my yorkie 5 years, and never experienced anything like that out of her..got her at 6 weeks, by 8 weeks, she was running over to the pee pad to use it..it was consistence in working with her..The little one I just got is 12 weeks, now, I'm working with her, she doesn't roam free without me right there watching every move, you have to be able to catch them doing something wrong to correct it..if she starts to pee on the carpet, I have to pick her up and take her to her pee pad, not get on to her after the fact, as they don't know what they did wrong if you don't catch them doing the "wrong" thing..We had an obedience trainer, for our 2 outside dogs, he said if the dog is doing something wrong, it's NOT the dog, it's the onwer, and this is very true! Dogs want to please, not upset you!

As for those that think we should find her another home: She can be a lot of fun (at times) and the kids love her to death. We are at the point of no return and would not part with her. For the most part, we have resigned ourselves to the fact that this dog (and the messes she produces) will be a part the house. Anyone else that is considering a Yorkie should be advised that they should (likely) expect a similar experience.

Prior to getting a yorkie I researched the breed and was deluded over and over with the housetraining issue. So, of course, I signed up for that...LOL.

I got the first at 8 weeks...not much older than yours and it did, indeed, take at least to age 5 months before I had any signs that mine got it. I'd confine her to a crate if I couldn't supervise her...that will help considerably with accidents and tearing up things in your house.

There is some kind of statistic that puppys taken away that early have a 90% chance of getting behavior problems.

Ugh... obviously people aren't getting the gist here. Please please stop the fighting... I don't think posting a thread about getting him fixed earlier than 10 months contridicts anything that she has said. They are getting along just fine, just a marking/humping issue still.... If you dont have kind words to give, then keep your mouth shut. Ok? I really don't mean to be rude but this is a forum for support and well wishes and you guys are nailing her to the cross lately...

I don't understand this either. It does not make any sense. I think this might be another weird poster, but not positive.

We have been having really weird posters on here lately that don't seem to care much about there yorkies and are here for different reasons. Have you noticed? It is definately more then usual, at least since I have been here and that is not really all that long. If I am wrong someone please correct me. Thanks

Pound for pound, this is the most destructive animal I have ever seen.

She's only 5 months old, how you can say she is a lost cause???

If you regret getting her everyday, send her to me. I'd be more than happy to take care of her. Do you think she can't sense how you feel??

I completely disagree, and i am sure most people on this site would also...while it is true that yorkies are hard to train it is not entirely impossible, and they are soooooo smart, but it takes patience and persistence...i think i speak for all yorkie lovers when i say that even though there are sometimes when they make us mad, the benefits far outweigh the consequences and we wouldn't give up our furbabies, bc at the end of the day, there is nothing like coming home from work/school and getting that yorkie lovin!!!

You are expecting too much too soon. Yes, many people will tell you their yorkies were housebroken by five months but so many take much longer. My first yorkie was housebroken by four months old. It could not have been easier. With the exact same training methods it took Gus over a year.

Resign yourselves to the fact that what she is doing is not unusual for a five month old yorkie puppy. She is going to be with you for many years, spend the next six months working hard to train her and she will be housebroken. She (and having a house that doesn't reek) is worth it.

Good luck. You can do it.

I didnt get to read all the posts and so maybe this has been said already...but I got my monkey when she was 4 months old and as far as I know she was in a puppy mill and then the pet store the whole 4 months. She clearly had no kind of training but with some patience and love she became pee pad trained in about a month.
Hope hes doing better soon and you did a good thing by getting him even though hes older. Im sure youll love him just as much as if he was with you from a younger age but you also gave a puppy a home who may have had a much harder time finding one. I feel like if I hadnt gotten my baby when I did she wouldnt have made it much longer in the pet shop because she was the oldest one there and many people want dogs as young as they can get them. Sorry if this made no sense...long day.

He went out to potty fisrt and then I took the ohter dog out of his crate and he weed also but no poo. He is still shy but seems to know this is his new home. he at e abit this morning not as guzzling as last night.

But about this fallen out Canine tooth, is this normal at 5 months? There is no teeth there. Will one come out? I will be livid if the breeder said it will and it wont.

You probably haven't been here long enough to understand our frustration. Once you've been here a while you will see why people like this are aggravating. We all have a right to our opinions and I don't think anyone on this forum needs to "keep their mouths shut".

[rebecca127]

This is rediculous, people. She is prob someone who is posting this for fun and trying to piss us all off. She has not posted anything since here rediculous post yesterday about neutering her dog. She is here to play games. and people stop responding to her posts.

There are a lot of other people here who have legit comments/ questions and new Yorkie Owners that need help.

Stop the insanity!
