 Potty Training
I have a little boy who is 7 months and very potty trained! After hearing all about how difficult it is to potty train yorkies, I found that I had no problem. What I would recommend is not giving the firm no because to him it's like you are telling him he's not allowed to go to the bathroom which will then lead to him hiding and peeing somewhere that you don't know about. Dogs can really understand the tone of your voice. With my puppy I just said his name in a disappointed manner and then put him outside. When he would do his thing outside I would praise him like crazy, give him a treat even, and made sure I said the word potty so that he would learn what that meant. Also in the mornings when you let him out he will most likely have to poop so make sure you give him more than enough time to go... they have to think too much for some reason ha ha. I was also told to time his feeding so that I would know when he has to go but I have yet to do that because I figure he's a growing puppy and needs the nutrients and what not.
Good Luck!!
