When I first tried to housetrain my Yorkie, I thought it would be easy. Boy, was I wrong! It was a process that continued for several months. If I had had some basic training it would have helped alot. But I figured that her bladder (Muffin) would eventually get the message.
Muffin did learn to “go” or pee on her puppy pads, but I never could get her to be consistent. Do you know why? I was not consistent in my training with her.
The failure to housebreak my Yorkie was a combination of her tiny bladder and my short bouts of consistency. Sometimes I was home when she needed to go, sometimes I wasn’t.
My best friend, Donna, however trained her Yorkie very successfully. What was the difference? She took that baby out every couple of hours to the same spot every day for three months, and scolded her just a bit if she did not comply. That is the best dog to this day and there are very few (if any) accidents.
But that is what it took…consistency and knowing her dog’s signs. She learned to watch Molly for signs of when she needed to go to the bathroom. Donna also knew that small dogs have small bladders so she set realistic expectations of her dog’s ability for to learn how to pee on command.
Larger dogs are MUCH easier to train than smaller dogs, but like Donna, I love both!
It’s just a matter of the right recipe to dog training! A big dose of patience and time devoted for several months, or until they get it!

When I Tried to Housetrain My Yorkie - Ugh!
Embrace Pet Insurance - How does it compare to others?
Let’s look at what you should consider that Embrace has already thought about for you and your pet:
Hereditary & Genetic
Other companies leave you with no coverage when it comes to genetic reasons for illness. Embrace does cover them and when some conditions lies quietly at first and then rear its head later, it can be VERY expensive.
ASPCA does not cover this and VPI has only limited coverage for hereditary and genetic conditions. This is VERY important (especially to breeds like English Bulldogs who have a lot of genetic problems from the start).
Reimbursement:
It is important that you choose the right plan for you. If you desire that all of your pet’s bills are covered, all of our plans will reimburse your claim as a percentage of your actual bill from your vet so you always get more money back. Don’t go to other companies that use a benefit schedule (VPI) or that say they will pay ONLY customary, usual and “reasonable” charges (ASPCA).
Routine Care & Wellness Visits
We will provide a routine care plan to help you pay for just regular visits to your vet. For example, if your vet charges you $100 for a puppy wellness visit, Embarce will reimburse you $100. VPI and ASPCA will give you less back from your well puppy visit because they have a limit on wellness payments before you would hit your max wellness payout from them.
Limits on Per Incidents
An incident for your pet is defined as any illness or accident and some insurance plans require a deductible before they pay for each incident and then they place a maximum amount of what you will be reimbursed for, per incident. ASPCA will charge you per incident limits. Our company will not limit you per incident.
Queen Corgis - Queen Elizabeth's Incorrigible Corgis Behaved Well in Bond Film
QUEEN CORGIS
I love reading news about celebrity pets! Here’s one hot off the presses!
The Queen’s precious dogs known as Corgis are back in the papers and current news because reportedly those little rascals attacked Princes Beatrice’s terrier when in Balmoral. These same dogs had their moment of fame when they appeared in a film opening the Olympic games. They were seen walking alongside James Bond! Although stand-ins were used when the helicopter scene took place, when Bond meets Queen Elizabeth in the audience room, you will see the Queen’s real Corgis themselves known as Susan, Monty and Willow. Sources say that the Queen’s corgis actually performed better than the stand-ins! Way to go Monty, Susan and Willow!
