My Tucker had been started on the litter box early at the breeder's and I have continued on from there - we're doing fairly well but it is by no means an overnight process with Yorkies. I have had two previously and even at 5 years of age, there was still the occasional "I didn't feel like asking to go out so I just peed here" moment. This is my first time litter training and at almost 7 months the pee pee accidents are only once or twice a week now. The pooping is another matter entirely as some others on here can attest to as well. I prefer this method (litterbox) since I do work full time, do not have a fenced in yard, and love to sleep almost all day on weekends so it really was a great option for me. Maybe the shih-tzu in your baby will have some influence, but I think most of the folks on here will agree that Yorkie potty training is, most often, an exercise in lots of love and even more patience...
WELCOME TO YORKIETALK!!!!!!!
