Designating The Outhouse

The Yorkshire Terrier breeders were great when we picked up my little curious bundle of joy. They had so many things to tell us.
I was too busy getting acquainted with the puppy to remember much of what the breeders told us, but I did listen to the party about teaching him to use the bathroom outside. They suggested that before even taking the baby into the house to see his new home, take him to the part of the yard where we wanted him to use the bathroom.
When we got home, I immediately took the puppy to the designated puppy potty zone and watched him walk around. He sniffed for a while, then peed. Success!
Each time I took him outside I took care to take him to the same location in order to help him understand where the designated puppy bathroom was. He's so smart; I think he already has it down.
