To teach a york to the toilet should be immediately after the dog was at your house. As a toilet, you can use an ordinary newspaper, a cat tray, or a waterproof diaper. The latter option is optimal, since such diapers are comfortable to use, absorb the liquid well and do not leak.
At the time of training a york to a diaper, it is better to remove all the carpets in the apartment, since if the puppy pisses at least once on the carpet, he will strive to do it there permanently and it will be difficult to wean him. And the unpleasant smell to remove from the carpet will be difficult. Let's find out how to teach a little dog to the diaper .
Accustoming York to the diaper
While the puppy is small, he can not stand it for long, so it's better to lay out a few diapers for a york in different places so that the dog can reach any of them, if necessary. As the puppy grows up, the number of diapers can be reduced to one or two.
The puppy will go to the toilet quite often: after active play, sleep or eating. Therefore, immediately after sleeping or eating, take the York puppy to the diaper and stay close to him until he does his job. If he succeeds, be sure to praise the baby and even give some kind of delicacy. Also it is necessary to carry the kid on a diaper, if you see that the puppy gets attached in the wrong place.
In order for the Yorker to understand more quickly what they want from him, you can slightly wet a piece of newspaper in his urine and put it on a diaper. The smell of his own urine will attract the puppy exactly where he is being taught. And so it is necessary to act until you see that the puppy has already got used to run "on need" on a diaper. A small puppy can limit space, especially if you have a large apartment, until he gets used to his toilet.
In the process of teaching york to a diaper never scold and certainly do not beat or poke a dog in the puddle on the floor. The puppy is still too small to understand why he is being scolded. If you find a grown-up Yorke behind the "wet" business, then you must scold a little. However, it makes no sense to scold a puddle in the wrong place, which you found after some time after
It happens that a york does not go to a diaper, but does his business next door. This can happen when his toilet is dirty. Therefore, if you are away from home for a long time, put one more spare diaper on the floor. Sometimes yorkies gnaw diapers. In this case, you can buy a tray with a net under which to lay the diaper - so it will be harder for the dog to get it. Keep the york away, every time he starts gnawing the diaper with the "Fu, you can not" command.
As you can see, it is not so difficult to train a york to a diaper. The main thing is to have patience, love and understanding of the animal, and then everything will turn out for you.
