I think Lexy is "Challenged" - YorkieTalk.com Forums

eensor · 11-03-2005, 03:15 PM

All day long I've been crate training Peanut, Lexy and Tater Jack. I took them out of the crate (and Lexy out of my bed) at 6 a.m. and we went straight outside where all three peed little yellow rivers! I was so proud! Then Peanut had a tiny poopie and I gave him a treat. We came back inside and as I was feeding the boys, Miss Lexy Marie peed again on the floor. So, I crated all three of them to feed breakfast and waited about 20 eternal minutes and took the screaming meemies out to poop. The boys pooped great and so did Lexy! Came back inside after playing and while I'm getting the boys crated, you guessed it Lexy peed on the floor! The boys are doing great, but I think she is mentally challenged by all of this! When she pees or poops inside, she puts herself in time out so she knows what she is doing is wrong! Why won't she let me know she has to go outside? Arghhhh!

This is going to be NO help at all and maybe I need to say it to comfort myself but Hallie is 3.5 and still has accidents. Do you think Lexy may have a physical problem and can't help it? Or maybe she is being stubborn about the boys? no, wasn't she doing this before they came? Gosh Elizabeth, I just don't know. I feel like I'm in perpetual potty training mode myself. Maybe we can both get some advice!

Well, I don't want to bring you down.....but your boys will do it too. That is just from my experience. They are so "on again" "off again". What I find is that they take turns being brats, which makes it more bearable

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE them to death.....but 3 pups can wear ya down real quick

. Good luck!

I'm of no help to you, but I just wanted to say how funny I think it is that she puts herself into time out!!!

Marie · 11-03-2005, 03:26 PM

Maybe she is a bit jealous. Gucci still has some accidents.

Yea, no help here (sorry about that), but that time out is FUNNY!!!!
LOL

Lexi's_Mommy · 11-03-2005, 04:05 PM

I used diapers/panties to train Lexi, and I'm going to do the same thing with Tori as soon as hers arrive. Lexi was doing great and then was peeing in the house all the time. I thought I was going to go nuts trying to train her. The diapers did work though, she has not had an accident in 4 months (knock on wood).

Julz · 11-03-2005, 04:19 PM

I'm going to try those also.

Oh my Goodness...that is so funny, not making light of the situation...But, she put's herself on time out!!!

eensor · 11-03-2005, 04:33 PM

Where do you buy the diapers? I'll try anything! You just leave them on her when she is in the house and take them off to go outside? I guess that seems obvious! She has been doing this all along. I don't think she is jealous of the boys, she loves them! She also gets to sleep with us at night and they don't. Three untrained Yorkies is a lot of work! I'm gonna be fine...I'm gonna be fine....I'm gonna be fine... I'm gonna...I'm gonna... I'm.......

Lexi's_Mommy · 11-03-2005, 04:44 PM

http://www.tinkerbellscloset.com has them and you can get them off ebay. You just stick apad in them, so that if she has an accident it will be on the pad not the diaper...

sneri13 · 11-03-2005, 04:47 PM

I agree with the on again off again. It seems Mac & Mellie love to take turns about who is going to forget about potting training.

PS - Lexi is not challenge she puts herself in time out. Way to go girl.

(sorry but it is funny)

I hope the diapers work out for you. Good Luck.

sabrinasmom · 11-03-2005, 09:16 PM

Just wondering if she wants a "treat" for doing it right too?

Connie · 11-03-2005, 09:34 PM

I hope she doesn't have a urinary tract infection. Does she normall pee that much? Hope you get it figured out! The diaper idea is good...I have one for Maddie that I'll put on her when we are at other people's homes, just for peace of mind.
