We have two yorkies. Gypsy,3, and Prissy, 2. We got them both 1 year ago.
Gypsy was from an awesome breeder and 110% house trained. Prissy is a rescue and wasn't house trained at the age of one. We have had her for 11 months now and if you had asked me two days ago if she was 100% house trained I would have said yes. I no longer crate her when I go out. Yesterday, we swung by my sister-in-law's house to see her daughter's halloween costumed and Miss Prissy ran in the house and peed on her new area rug!!!! And she had JUST been out for a walk. Today,we were visiting another friend and I caught her as she just squatted to piddle on their carpet.
My answer: my dogs are 99% housebroken when they are at home, but you had better keep an eye on them if they are in a different environment! |
