| How often do you take your yorkie out? How long did it take to potty train? I take my almost 7 month old Chloe out four times a day (7am, 12pm, 5pm, 10/11pm). She is almost fully potty-trained at 7months. She makes a few mistakes every few days. Are we on a good track? How often do you take your yorkie out? And how long did it take to fully potty train (no mistakes)? |

| I use to take my pup out 5 times a day, and he was already potty trained, I just had the time. I took him out at 7, min for 45 mins max 2 hours, then again at 10:30 for a quick 15-20 min potty break/walk, again at 1:30 (on Wednesdays it was 12:30) for another 15-20 min break, 6:30 when I got home for an hour and a half, sometimes 3, and then out last outing at 11 pm. It's about the same as yours and it worked well for my little one. He came potty trained so I don't know how long it took.

| Mines about the same age and I would say is about 70% trained. She makes on average 1-3 mistakes (out of the 10 times she goes) per day. It depends on routine. Usually we have more issues with #2. I take her btwn 6-7 ( depending on what time I have to work) twice and she makes both. Her dad takes her when he wakes up at about 9-9:30. Once up for the day she will either take her self again to the potty pads before Dad takes her to Grandmas around 1030 or she will slip up. I take her btwn 1-2 after work and then as needed at night before bed. If we mess up the routine she will make a mistake. The funny thing is she walks her self to her potty spot most times and then others will just go where ever. I'm hoping to hear more words of encouragement on the potty training front. I think that under a year, it's understandable for them to make oopsies.

| It was about 8-9 months till I could say that Sophie had it down pat. Meaning she would go to the door and bark to be left out. My problem though was that my DD worked part-time back then. So she would go out to pee every 2-3 hours, simply cause she could. She never learned to hold it. So it was a long time before she slept the night without having to get up. And even now she will get up somewhere around 3:00 AM at least 1 night a week and she's nearly two years old.

| Hmmm... I would say Jackson was 99% potty trained by 6 months old, and is now 99.9% potty trained, LOL. He will still have an occasional poop accident and it's typically when it rains, I would say once every 2 months, I find a poop surprise. I don't really have the exact amount of times he goes out in a day... he's outside ALOT so no specifics, I don't totally keep track of his potties, esp. when we are at my dads for a few days with their fenced in yard. At our regular house, I guess leashed potty breaks are around 4x a day. Morning, afternoon (1-ish), dinner time (5-6ish) and the bedtime. He usually sleeps overnight with me from around 11pm-9am so that's 10 hours and he is still not in a big hurry to get outside, I usually potty myself and brush my teeth first and then we go outside. He is almost 2 years old.

| My little Mocha is about 99% potty trained now, it to me awhile because I had school and work. She is a year and a half now, but I could have potty trained her earlier if i wasn't so busy, but i take her out every 3 hours from when she wakes up, she has no problems at night time. Maybe once in a while she will slip up but other than that its all good. |

| I would take Phoebe out every 1-2 hours. We always went to the same door and I'd tell her lets go potty! Potty is her key word now and always goes to that door. If she slept in her crate or was put in it while we were out as soon as we got home we went to potty. She is now 4 and still has accidents , but very few.
