when I first got Chelsea, she spent most of her life in the crate because I had another dog (a beagle) an the vet told me that the two shouldn't have contact until Chelsea had had her shots. (Because my beagle was housetrained). so because of that Chelsea started going in her crate (whereelse would she go?). then i started incoporating wee-wee pads. And ahe did well with those too. sometimes she's miss (in the beginning), but I'd ignore those mistakes and over praise her when she went on her wee-wee pad. As soon as she got that down I started allowing her to travel into other parts of the house, but there was always a wee-wee pad nearby. So with this she has done very well. Still not perfect, but she's doing good. Although you may not want your dog to go in the house, wee-wee pads are a good alternative for little yorkies.
