How do I potty train my 4 month old teacup yorkie?

Answer 1

You can crate train - which involves keeping a puppy in a small crate (just enough for him to sleep in), and then whenever he starts to whine or bark, you let him out to do his business somewhere.

Another method (that I like better) is using a training pad/wee-wee pad/pee pad. You buy them at your local pet store, and train the dog to use it. After he wakes up, after every meal, after playtime, and generally every 2-3 hours, place him on the pad and tell him to go there. Re-enforce it with a phrase like, "go potty" or "use the bathroom". You can eventually move the pad to a place of your liking (even outside) and he will continue to use it. Once you've moved the pad outside, you can keep it there for a day or two, and then remove it, and hopefully he will continue to go to the door to signal that he wants to go outside to do his business.

At this point, it's crucial to pay attention to him and see when he uses the bathroom, and when he looks like he's about to go. (sniffing around, circling) Don't ever rub his nose in a mess, or beat him, or yell at him after he's made a mess. Their attention spans are very short - and he won't remember a mess that he made 5 minutes ago. He'll just end up being fearful of you because you're yelling/beating him for reasons he doesn't know.

Good luck!

Do not return her. You may ought to get a respectable coach. I don't know that so much about yorkies but probably thats how the breed acts as puppies. Did you study concerning the dogs history earlier than shopping maybe the breeders failed to take excellent care of her as a new child puppy. Do not worry it is going to as a rule go away soon if you happen to teach her sufficient. When she bites say no and take the object away, are attempting shopping chew toys so she knows the difference between things she will and can't chew. You should socialize her as quickly as feasible in order that your yorkie will at the least be good with others. Recall thats a accountability that comes with having a dog. Is she spayed or nutered, whatever thats referred to as? If not, do that, it may be whats causing the aggresion.

firstly, theres no such thing as a teacup yorkie - this is not a breed. its actually a TOY yorkie, the name teacup is given to help sell the smaller less healthy dogs... usually runts or poorly bred litters. there is also no size regulations for teacups, so it could even be a mini.

toilet training -
every single time he goes to wee inside, pick him up, even if he is still halfway thru, and put him outside. EVERY TIME. you MUST be consistent or it wont work.
when he is finished his business, praise him straight away, telling him what a good boy/girl it is.

you can try a wee pad, however, i think they are pointless because once you train him to go on it, you just have to train him to go outside again... even with moving the pad. it is faster to just make him go outside.

also, take him outside during the day plenty of times so he doesnt have the chance to go inside.

I don't know if it will work with your Yorkie, but with my Min-Pin it did. Each time I took her outside and she urinated and/or pooped, I gave her a few Cheerios. She began to associate the Cheerios with going outside to eliminate and there were no more "accidents". When she was able to go outside on her own she would then come in and wait for her reward. Eventually the Cheerios were no longer needed.

Answer 5

I trained my puppy by getting a little yelloe staike at a pet store. It goes into the groung and gives off a scent that attracts the dog to make their buisiness around there.
