Most Pugs lack the opportunity to roam a large backyard at will. They’re more likely to spend the day indoors while their family members are away at work and school. This can make sticking to a potty training schedule more difficult.

Combining the use of crate and leash training can work wonders for Pugs. If you have a new adult Pug joining your family or returning from a kennel while you were on vacation, you may have to reinforce potty training behavior.

One option is to return him to the crate during the day and possibly use a leash that’s not overly restrictive when you’re present so that he stays in one area of the home. Keeping the Pug contained 100% of the time isn’t the total answer - it’s merely part of the process.

Start as you would with a puppy and set up regular potty breaks. Make sure that you time the elimination breaks with enough time after feeding so the Pug can do something meaningful on the trip outside.

Despite the fact that Yorkshire Terriers make small messes, when it comes to cleaning costs you will still pay the same thing to clean up urine stains whether your dog is small or large. Yorkshire Terriers have to be potty trained just as much as any other dog.

You have to take into consideration that a Yorkshire Terrier equals a small bladder that won’t hold as much (or for as long). So if you are late on your way home from work then you might wind up cleaning up an accident.

The great thing about Yorkies is that they can live comfortably in an apartment or a home without a large yard. As long as you can provide a tiny spot like a flowerbed, your Yorkie will have all the room he needs.

It might seem silly to some folks when they see a Yorkshire Terrier in a knit sweater, but most of the time it has nothing to do with fashion. In the cold winter months, the climate change from indoors to outdoors is very harsh on a little dog’s body.
