First Yorkie In A Year.. Lots Of Questions!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

amanda350 · 08-27-2007, 08:34 AM

Hello, It has been a while since I posted on here. My Tucker passed away a year and a half ago and I just got another Yorkie 2 weeks ago..I have completeyl forgot what to do and I need some help. Kallie is almost 12 wks and she weighs 2.4 lbs.. She is so sweet and I felt an instant connection.. Anyways...here are my questions..

What is the fastest way to housebreak her?

When crate training, how long should she be in her crate.. She sleeps in there at night and I put her in there when I cannot watch her.. She will have accidents quick and I worry about it so I take her out like every 30 minutes..I put her up while we eat or when I am caring for one ofmy children.. Is this wrong?

How do I keep her from having accidents in her crate?

How long should she be going in between bathroom breaks?

How do I get her ears to stand up? I shaved the hair but I don't want to tape them..

How big do you think she will get?

What age can I start taking her to the groomers to get used to it??

I guess that is all for now so any help would be greatly appreciated..
