Why do you have to sell him?! :( |
I am wanting him to go to a home with a fenced in yard- we live by a main highway, and he has run out there several times, and thank god traffic stopped so i could get him, he does not do it all of the time, but I would rather lose him to someone that is going to take care of him than to lose him to him dieing from getting hit. :( I could not live with myself! |
Is it Prince ??? oh no !! I'm sorry....what about building a little area for him in the yard you do have ?? I know I shouldn't say anything but you did say you're regretting this and I feel so bad for you - I couldn't do without my fenced in yard or mine would be on leashes all the time |

So sorry to hear this. I cannot afford a real fence right now, and so we put up that orange meshi construction fence stuff. Its not the prettiest by any means, but we got 100 feet for like 30.00. It does the job. I know when I let my 3 babies out that they are safe and cant get out and run away. So why not give that a try before rehoming him! |
Have you thought of pad training him? This way he will not have to go out to do his business, and when you want to take him out for fresh air and exercise, he will have on a harness and leash. Another idea is if you have a place where you could put a clothes line in your yard, you can have a running lead. This will give him room to go potty and also get some fresh air, without escaping. I am sure it is hard to give up a dog you have had for almost a year. I would be heart broken, but I would try some alternatives before giving him away. I am certainly not trying to criticize you, but didn't you consider this, before you got the dog? Good luck to both you and the baby. |
Im sorry you have to sell him...it must be terribly difficult..I hope you find a member here to buy him.. The snow/construction fence was a REALLY good suggestion (if you are taking suggestions lol) as it is VERY inexpensive and you could make him a nice little run with it.. Dawn |
sorry have to butt in on this. unless in dire financial problems, I can understand. Otherwise, there is no need to sell a 1year dog away. we are talking about SELLING it away at USD$650. It costs a thousand over dollars over here. this is just not right. :confused: |

They can be trained to sit and wait at the door, also keeping them baby gated away from the rooms where the doors are is helpful. My guys know when I tell them no stay back that they are not allowed to rush through the door. Also the area outside the door can be fenced even if it just setting an x pen around the door way. I feel so bad for you and him both. Hopefully you can find a better solution than selling him. If you are still determined to sell him, would you consider lowering the price. $650 for a 1 year old that is over the standard size is a little high in my opinion. |
Please be careful with the orange snow fence...my Rosie chewed herself a little doorway and walked right out one day! The green garden or rabbit fence might be a better idea and it doesn't cost much either but it can't be chewed through. As for the running out the door...you can train him not to do this...it's been addressed on YT several times before but it takes a little work. Do you have a porch where you can put up a baby gate so he can't go any further even if he does get out? You sound like you love your baby...maybe you could explore a few other options before letting him go. |
get a harness & leash use it ,don't open the door before you know where your dog is. |
Good luck in finding him a home. Do what your heart tellls ya. |
He sure is cute and I hope you don't have to sell him:( You got tons of good advice here, everyone here is so helpful:thumbup: Starr used to rush the door as well, so we always picked her up when answering the door, and we kept it locked so no one could just open it, they had to knock. Maybe you could do that in the meantime, until you get the fence/training that you need? Hugs!!!!! Tracy and Luna:aimeeyork |
Keep him leashed in the house, open the door a few times a day and step on that leash when he darts out. Tell him no and stay, give him a treat and praise. We did this with both our girls as pups and now they never step a foot out the door even if it is wide open. I don't think this is a problem that a little training won't cure. I'd hate to see you sell him for this reason alone unless it were something else. |

If it is not financial, I would invest in training clases for him. When Bailey was a puppy she would dart out the door just to do hot laps in the grass.When we wanted her to come in she thought we were playing and would run off. Our trainer told us to run the oposite way and she would follow;she did:) I signed her up for classes and now she won't even follow me into the garage unless I tell her it is ok. We live in a area where we can't have a fence so I bought her a long runner and put that on her when we are all outside doing yardwork, we don't even have to attach the end to anything, she doesn't go out of the yard. It is not too late to pad train your boy either, yorkies are stubborn but very smart. Good Luck! Michele & Bailey:aimeeyork |
I'm so sorry you have to find a new forever home for your baby, this just breaks my heart. If I had the extra money I would take him. |
Awww...what a difficult time you must have had with this decision. Knowing how I feel about my one year old Topher, this must have been so hard for you. I know everyone here hates to see you have to do something like this...something that would make you so very sad so that's why we're all throwing suggestions your way....we just want to keep you two together, if possible :) I do hope you try the training technique. We've had Topher in obedience classes here for quite a few months now and the change we've seen in him is phenomenal. Luckily I'm in a small city so the kennel club's classes are very inexpensive, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it. He's come a long way! I'd suggest even a makeshift baby gate in front of the door until you are able to train or until he catches on. I do hope that you're able to try some of the suggestions, if possible. If it turns out that you have to sell him, we do understand. You're such a good mom putting is safety first. I hope it all works out for you. |
its hard dogs are so fast my son let our lab out i was checking the mail and he just open the door and said bye bye and i had to run a mile to catch up to her and im not in the best shape lol |
Rebecca, I hope everything works out for you and Prince. I know how much you love him, my thoughts are with you. :girl_hug: |
Thank you for all of your suggestions I am going to try them one by one and hopefully that works. And to comment on a couple of statements made about me selling because of financial reasons, yes I know some might think that with it being close to christmas but we are doing pretty good. I would not sell my baby for money that is just going to be spent on materialistic things, I put a high price on him to be honest because I was hoping that no one would buy him, and I could keep him. I love him and I am willing to try anything to make him stop. Again thank you so much to the suggestions, and I will keep you informed one wich one(s) worked! |
Bless you. I'm sure you are frustrated with the fear of having him hit by a car. Take a deep breath and get a new sense of hope with all the great ideas here. There has to be one that will make things easier. Sometimes when you feel like your at your wits end with something that hasnt been working out, you just need some buddies that will give you some fresh ideas and fresh hope...so go with it and good luck!!!! |

I think those that brought up financial reasons, were referring to maybe a financial reason for not putting up a fence. I hope all works out well for you, so you don't have to worry about him getting hit by a car or running off. |
