| Welcome to YT! Lewis is darling! What a sweet face he has! (the little boy is very cute too ). You'll have so much fun with your new little puppy! And it won't take too long for him to be housebroken. Just be consistent and it will happen. We got Max at 12 weeks, and it took a little bit, but not as long as I thought it would. Lots of very good advice here and everyone is so helpful! Congratulations on your new baby!

| He is soooo cute!! And so are the kiddos in the pics! Welcome to YT. The best potty training advice I have is watch him closely and be consistent. You can also do "potty boot camp" for a weekend. Here's how it works: Get a long leash and attach it to yourself, the other end on Lewis. He's gonna be your little buddy all weekend. He goes where you go...watch his cues for potty behavior and when he does that, go immediately to the spot you want him to potty. As soon as he does his business, praise him like crazy. Most of them "get it" in a weekend, some take longer. You can also do this if he regresses, which puppies do sometimes. Good Luck!

| Oh what a face! He is a doll! You will find plenty of potty training tips here although not from me- I'm not very good at it. Just keep repeating 'patience, patience, patience'. I does take quite a bit of time with most yorkies. Welcome to YT! I look forward to more pics of your little baby!

| Welcome to YT. Your Little Lewis is a real cutiepie. Is that your son in the one picture with Little Lewis? That is such a good picture of both of them.

| Thanks to you all. Yes, those my kiddos in the photos with Lewis....I have another one as well. My oldest daughter said yesterday "Momma, now you have 4 kids!"...counting Lewis. =) My hubby is a huge motor racing fan...specifically Formula One. Little Lewis is named after Lewis Hamilton, the newest name in F1. And since his helmet is yellow, my husband insists that he have a yellow tag, yellow collar and yellow harness....he's so silly! |
