House Training a Dog

My friend has a little Yorkie terrier. It will not do his potting outside, but will do it inside. It can be outside for hours and not do anything. Is this the way they are? Can something be done about it? My daughter had a Yorkie and it did the same thing. She ended up giving it away.

RE: House Training a Dog

Take the dog for a walk where other dogs walk and it will go to the bathroom outside when it smells their pee and poo. It will enjoy the walk, and dogs should be walked everyday. After it gets used to doing it's business outside, it will probably ask to go outside at home also.

RE: House Training a Dog

Sometimes we give our dogs mixed messages by sometimes letting them pee and poo on dog pads and then taking them outside to do their business. The best thing to do is choose one or the other. If your dog is going inside and you want her to pee and poo outside.

Take the pee pad outside and rub the scent on the grass where you want her to pee or take the poo and put it on the grass where you want her to go. Take her out every hour if possible during the day to the spot you placed the poo and rubbed the urine on the grass, remember small dogs have small bladders. Make sure you have treats with you to give her. Let her sniff around the spot and i know she will go praise her give her a treat and always take her to that same spot. She will catch on in no time. Please give it time but be consistent.
