- Go to www.shirleychong.com and review her website. Shirley Chong has a range of online training for dogs including 6 lessons. All free. All downloadable. I've used her work on "loose leash walking" and "recalls" as well as behavior shaping.
- I would actually try to kennel train him, It is very easy and has worked well for me in the past.
- yorkies are small dogs so they have small bladders, about the size of a shot glass, so when they drink and they little bladders get full fast. take your dog out every hour on the dot and wait til he goes, then praise him. using potty pads teaches him to actually toilet in the house. petsmart is a pretty good priced place to get a dog groomed and they have special training classes that you could join too.
- How about instead of paying someone ELSE to train him, why don't YOU learn to train him? It's not that hard!
Don't use a pee pad!! NO NO NO NO NO!!! That's bad. Start by locking him in a room that has no carpet... like the kitchen, maybe? Then, whenever you are home, you have to watch him constantly, so when he starts to circle to squat, you have to catch him in the act. As soon as he starts to pee or poop, you raise your voice and interrupt him! Then, grab him, put him on a leash, and take him immediately outside to where you WANT him to go, and tie him there and leave him there while you go inside and clean up his mess. When you are done cleaning up his mess, go back out and get him and bring him back in. Keep doing this until he gets the hint. Always use the same door to take him out! That way he knows which door to go to!
Now, at night time and while you are at work, he's obviously not going to wait for you to come home (at least not right now). So, it may be a good idea for you to get a cage for him. NOTE: A CAGE IS ONLY USED FOR BEDTIME AND WHEN YOU ARE GONE!!! NOT ALL DAY!! So many people think they can leave their dog in a cage all the time when they're home. That's WRONG!
When choosing a cage, you want to get one that is the size of your pet! If you get one that's too small, then he will be cramped (obviously). If you get one that he can run around in, he will just pee in one end and sleep in the other. You want a cage that he can stand up and lay down and just turn around in. THAT'S IT! A dog will not pee or poop where it sleeps! Make sure you take your dog out before bed. Then as soon as you get up in the morning. Make sure you take him out before you go to work. Then as soon as you get home!
And don't let him out of the cage after being in it all night or day and just let him run around the house.... cuz if he peed on the floor- that would be YOUR fault!!
And don't use the cage as a punishment for peeing on the floor either. For instance, if he peed or pooped on the floor and you get mad, don't put him in his cage as a punishment. Because if you do that, he might think you are trying to tell him that he's supposed to go in his cage! Hope this helps! - Just where do you think you'll find someone to move in and housebreak your dog for you?? And for under $100??? You get what you pay for.
I'm sure you were well aware in advance that small breeds are infamous for being difficult to housebreak....so why are you unprepared now?
Crate train him. Be ready to take him out often. There IS no training elsewhere that's gonna housebreak him in YOUR house.
Ahhhhh...and you want to have a dog that needs regular grooming...and you want it cheap.....uh...??
I'm confused as to why you ever decided to get a dog....instead of....oh....a plant! Oh yeah...the whole "watering" thing. Maybe a plastic plant?
