This is such a rough decision...It was very hard to train my first yorkie, my husband and I were much younger, no experience at all, both working all day and went away at night a lot. That was our fault, he couldn't train himself. It took a lot of love, patience, persistence and confinement...but he did finally get it...a lot later. I really think my second yorkie, Winston was amazing, I expected the absolute worse and got the absolute best. He was the easiest to train. I have no miracle cures for you, I think it all has to do with the very first day you bring them home...Take them outside first...make sure they know where they're suppose to potty. Praise. Crate, when you're not actually holding them. Persistence, schedules ARE important. Outside before his paws hit the, oh so inviting carpet...Patience, you have to show them who's the boss. And lastly LOVE. Good Luck to you and your fiance, make the right decision for both of you.
