potty training yorkies?




manda


we have had our yorkie for a couple years now and he is completly potty trained but recently we got another yorkie who isnt as potty trained. he goes a lot in the house and now our other yorkie is starting to do it. the new yorkie also goes sometimes when he gets excited. our old yorkie can go outside without a leash because he comes right back but the new yorkie has to be on a leash but he wants out every 10 minutes. how can we get them both completly potty trained so they will stop going in the house


Answer
Any dog can be house trained.

The answer is simple. Supervise!
The work involved is not so simple, but it works.

First Do not free feed your dog. Feed them on schedual. Water too can be done on a schedual. Give them a bowl of water, let them drink thier fill. Pick up the bowl and dump it placing the empty bowl on the ground. and take the dog out as noted below. If you see the dog nosing the water bowl give him another drink and go out agian.

Dogs will need to go to the bathroom 5-30 min after they eat/drink. Feed the dog, take him outside on a leash. Wait calmly while they go. If they do not go after 5 minutes go back into teh house and wait 5 min. Do not let the dog off the leash, Keep it with you or put it in a crate. Wait 5 min then take it back outside again. Repeat 5 min out 5 min in till they potty outside. If they potty calmly give them a treat and say good. Do not make a big deal just treat and then walk inside again.

Once they potty outside they have earned the right to wander the house with being on a leash.

Watch for signs:
Circling,
sniffing,
squatting (too late)


Other things to watch:
The type of food you are feeding. A higher quality food will produce less output.
Use a pet Enzyme such as Natures Miracle to clean up the mess to remove the smell of any 'accidents'

backyard dogs inhumane?

I have two backyard only dogs. A golden retreiver(female) and a chocolate labrador(male). They are both neutered/spayed and have daily human contact. They are well fed and taken care of. So the other day I planned on adopting this cute little corgi mix dog and since he won't grow big I decided it would be best to have him sleep indoors with me. When I contacted about the dog, they replied that they didn't adopt to people with backyard only dogs even if I planned to keep this one indoors. I find this rather dumb as I take care of my dogs, feed them daily and they each have their own igloo homes. Is it really that bad to have them outside? They are never tied up and run around and have little toys to play with.


Answer
Um... where do they think wild dogs live? Dogs *WANT* to be outside. I have a 6lb Yorkie that would get eaten by hawks, but he still wants to be outside every waking moment.

Dogs are physically able to stay outside. They evolved to live outdoors!

My parents rescued a German Shepard that is an outside dog. He loves the rain. He loves the grass. And that dog is the most spoiled dog on this earth! Just because he lives in the back yard, doesn't mean he's being neglected. They love him as if he was their child.

I seriously dont understand the answers you are getting to this question. You want to RESCUE a neglected dog for pete's sake! Adopt him, make him part of your family, give him the attention he's not getting in the shelter. All of these people (including the ones that say they are trainers - although every trainer I have ever had tell me to treat my dog like a freaking dog) act like you are abusing the ones that you have. If that shelter wont let you have that dog, it's their loss. I'm sure you are a great pet owner and it shows by the fact that you already have two fairly huge dogs (which equates to more expensive) and you want open your home and heart to another. Bravo sir!!

Lay off people!! We talk about fixing the overpopulation animal problem in the shelters and then we find out that the animal shelters arent adopting the animals to loving homes. What gives??


For Shih Tzu lover: Yes, I assumed that the Corgi was neglected. Sure, maybe the shelter sits with her for hours on end petting her.. and only her. But I doubt it. Neglected doesnt mean it's being abused, it just means that it isnt getting the full attention it could be getting at home with a loving family.

Like I said, I dont keep my dog outside. Yorkies dont have undercoats and he would get cold. Labs and retrivers are a bit different.

So how does a wild dog differ physically to an outside "pet" - not a freaking yorkie, but a lab?

And how does being a pack leader have anything to do with where the dog sleeps? Is that any worse than the people that have indoor pets that are kept in crates for 8 hours a day? At least his dogs can run around and play with each other all day!
