Ideally you should begin Yorkshire Terrier litter box training when your Yorkie is still a puppy. The first step is to buy a litter box along with some litter and cleaning supplies. It is best if you arrange a larger-sized cat litter box and customize it as necessary such as removing the top, so that your Yorkie can feel comfortable using it. It is essential, if you find your Yorkie using other area than its litter box, that you discourage the dog emphatically. The dog is intelligent enough to understand a verbal cue.

Removal of the litter is not a difficult task to accomplish. In fact, it is really simple. Although it is not a fun job to do, you cannot avoid doing it. The process of caring for a litter box is the same as for a kitty litter box. If using clumping litter simply scoop out and dispose of the litter clumps every day. Then on a regular basis, such as one or twice per week, completely dump the box and replace with fresh, clean litter. It is essential to keep this area clean.

Praising the dog for eliminating in the designated place, which is in the litter box, is crucially important for the effectiveness of the Yorkshire Terrier litter box training. You can use words like “Good Boy!” when you find him using the litter box correctly. Your behavior and command to your dog should be very consistent in nature; otherwise the dog may become utterly confused.

You should act in consistent manner, or else the dog may become confused. You must be persistent in discouraging the dog littering outside the litter box, praising the dog for littering inside the box and keeping the litter box in the same place every day. Without persistency, the training schedule may stretch longer than expected.

Always remember you must have a commanding voice with a placid and assured tone, not a harsh or coarse tone at all. This will remove any fear they may have, while they will be motivated and serious enough to obey your command in order to please you.

In an ongoing training of eight to ten weeks the dog will become accustomed to the litter box without any outside guidance. This means your Yorkshire Terrier litter box training is successful, so you don’t have to go for a walk in the middle of the night.
