My 7lb yorkie isn't potty trained and he marks, what would you suggest (this product or belly bands)?

These are for girl dogs, not boy. I would recommend a belly band. It's A LOT easier. My mom did the same for her male dog she adopted until he learned where to go potty at.

Belly bands are easier to put on in my opinion. My parents use them for their male.

I think these were designed for dogs in heat and the belly bands for markers. All 4 of my boys wear belly bands and 1 of my girls wear diapers because she marks as well. There is a hole for the butt so it wont hold the poo plus that would be a very messy clean up. Get a belly band for the marking and continue to work on housetraining hopefully he'll learn both are a no no and you wont need it.

No, for a puppy a piddle pad would be more appropriate to house train him. These belts are made mostly for incontinent dogs. My toy poodle is 18 years old and has become incontinent due to his inability to see and hear and is mostly unable to find the door anymore to go outside. I also believe since he has been wearing the belt to avoid accidents on the wood floor he has become used to it that it is okay to just go in the belt (padded with thick pad). The belt itself is not moisture proof used by itself the urine would flow right through it.

I don't know the dog or it's age, if he was mine I would keep the dog at my hip with carabiner on leash at belt loop. Then train my pup as he barked give a little tug and say No/ quiet or shhh. The vest/jacket has helped our pup greatly with his fear and anxiety. Sounds he may need to burn energy (bike or walks) then train with treats and loving, before meals Good luck

Look up the PooPoose, a "wiggle free" diaper changing pad with thick fuzzy strap (with velcro) for exactly this purpose. Designed by a pediatric dentist. I purchased on on Amazon a few months ago and it works well with my wiggle monster (13 months).

use a soapy cloth and do not sterolize. i went through a couple of vulli teethers from sterolizing. the squeaker won't work afterwards.

They sell this stuff at pet stores called Bitter Apple. I think you probably would be also able to find it on here. Just spray a little and it makes it bitter and dogs hate them. But I hope it won't deter them from peeing on the pads. I used it on furniture legs, corners of the wall etc when my baby was alive. RIP Annie..... :(

If your dog has not tail, don't use a diaper with a tail hole. You're better off with a regular diaper. Use a normal Pampers or Huggies or whatever brand you want. Try some different sizes until you find a good fit. Also, attach the velcro tabs on the BACK of your dog, not on his tummy like you would a human. As for advice, that's all I can give. I don't have a dog. I tried this diaper on a cat. The hole was WAY too big.

I can't recommend this product at all, in any size. Get a Halti or some no-pull harness. Giving a painful stimulus to your dog can create a whole new cascade of behavior problems.

By the time I received them from online order, my dog was over her cycle. However, I do know that the small size baby diapers I purchased at store did not work at all and kept falling off. Probably the Simple Solution diapers would be worth trying since they are made for that purpose. To me they would be worth trying.

Looks like others have measures, but this might be useful - our Yorkie Shelby started using them when she was at 4 lbs with no problems - never tried to go "through" the spaces (though I guess she could have) - she's now at 6 lbs 6 oz and they work just fine

Ohhhh, that's a pretty small critter to put a bark collar on ........ I have a 5# Yorkie and I certainly wouldn't use it on her. I bought this Bark Limiter for a Labradoodle weighing about 35#. So, I'm going to tell you to please find some other barking control method other than a Bark Limiter for your little one. Please talk to your vet about other options.

You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing. We're working on it and he has been more cooperative. I make a ridiculously big deal out of any success ( including his favorite yrea, And I tell him how bad he is when he tears things up (clearly for fun). If you can muster the patience, AND you use the right absorbant pads, it does work. Be careful what pad you use, Four Paws WeeWee pads are AWFUL. found some really heavy duty pads made by a small company - look up the name, "Value Pet Supplies." They actually helped me ! the pads they make are far better than others I tried. Good luck. You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing.

Great question. Unfortunately, no solution. Personally I would be more concerned on your dogs stool being soft as opposed to solid. Then again I'm no expert. Hope that helps.

My old dog has hard time controlling a bowel movement so I can't say that it deters anything. Diaper always contains the bowel content.l

Vet's Best has an elastic adjustable band. I adjusted mine on my little Yorkie and it works ~ He is a male and I use the Poise Pads that are strictly for urine (Other product pads did not work for my dogs needs)

Sorry but we do not actually use the belly band part of the device as we felt that it was a bit prohibitive. We have a 70lb golden and the quad leg support seems do do just as well for him and without the belly band we don't have any issues with urination. if you do use the belly band it is easy enough to take off with just the two clips that need to be uundone. overall we could not be happier with the system as has helped in keeping our 16 year old dog mobile

I use Purina small bites in ours. Works perfectly! The pet stores also carry treats that fit but I prefer to just use kindle. It's cheaper and it doesn't upset his tummy.
