[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 215595, member: 2727"] I say its your house and this puppy as darling as it may be is doing damage. I say crate train. Ummmm I had two yorkies that I started crate training as soon as they were old enough to come home with me at 9 weeks. The doors and what not can be fixed but the foreign things that this lil doll is ingesting very well could can turn into a problem medically. My yorkies automatically went to their crate when they saw my on the go coffee cup, Lol!!. They always no matter what stayed in their crate when I was leaving the house. I never had to worry about them chewing on anything, Urinating in the house or even worse deciding that a lamp cord or something seemed to taste pretty good that could electricute them... That would be horrible. The only other option is to trade dogs with me, :-) I have a Chihuahua that is crate trained, He is a lil over a year old. We adopted him from the shelter almost three months ago. I keep telling my difficult child that I wish that I had just got a yorkie. Don't get me wrong, He is sweet and all but I think getting a puppy would have been soooo much easier considering I do not know what kind of life this lil guy had before he ended up in the shelter. A puppy knows no different so I think its easier to train the way you want to train them is all where is this lil guy (Baily) is already a year old and is somewhat set in his ways. I have the same issue with him using my house as a toilet despite my consistancy on taking him out. Today was a better day though so we are making progress. He also stays in his crate when we leave the house with no questions asked and he sleeps in his crate at night as well and has adjuted very well to it. [/QUOTE]
