I am trying to work on my hubby to maybe get another yorkie. I saw one at a pet store,(I know, don't buy from a pet store, besides, I would love to get a rescue however with our 4 year old nobody would approve us) but they have finally reduced him to a point where we could actually afford him. He is a bigger yorkie which is great for us, because Willy is also a larger yorkie. He started out at a huge $2400.00 and now after about 3-4 months he is down to $599. and he is about 8 months old.

Now my question to you seasoned yorkie owners, after being in the pet store this long, how difficult do you think he will be to house train. I am home 4 days a week so I could work with him then & the days I work I can go home for lunch for potty breaks. I will crate him(at least until he is house trained) when we go out, but since he has been at the pet store so long he is used to pottying in there. How do I break him of that.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
