If you have a baby yorkie, you might be wondering how to potty train them. Potty training is an essential skill that will make your life easier and your pup happier. In this blog post, I will share with you some tips and tricks on how to potty train your baby yorkie in a fun and effective way.
First of
all, you need to understand that potty training is a process that takes time
and patience. Your baby yorkie is still learning and developing, so don't
expect them to be perfect right away. You need to be consistent, positive and
supportive of your pup throughout the training.
One of the
most important things you need to do is to establish a routine. Your baby
yorkie needs to know when and where to go potty. You can use a crate, a
playpen, or a designated area in your house as their potty spot. Make sure it
is clean, comfortable and accessible for your pup. You also need to take them
out regularly, especially after they wake up, eat, drink or play. A good rule
of thumb is to take them out every hour or two
When you
take your baby yorkie out, use a cue word or phrase like "go potty"
or "let's go outside". This will help them associate the word with
the action and make it easier for them to learn. Praise and reward your pup
when they do their business in the right place. You can use treats, toys, or
verbal praise as rewards. Make sure you do it immediately after they finish, so
they know what they did right.
If your
baby yorkie has an accident in the house, don't scold or punish them. This will
only make them scared and confused. Instead, calmly clean up the mess and take
them out to their potty spot. If you catch them in the act, interrupt them with
a clap or a firm "no" and take them out right away. Then praise and
reward them when they go potty outside.
Remember
that potty training is not a one-time thing. You need to keep reinforcing the
behavior until it becomes a habit for your pup. You also need to be aware of
any changes in your pup's environment or schedule that might affect their potty
routine. For example, if you move to a new house, travel with your pup, or
introduce a new pet or family member, you might need to adjust your potty
training accordingly.
Potty
training your baby yorkie can be challenging but rewarding. With some patience,
consistency and positivity, you can help your pup become a well-behaved and
happy member of your family. I hope you found this blog post helpful and
