I got my Yorkie about 2 weeks ago, he's 11 weeks old now!!

1. and so far he's been okay about peeing on pee pee pads, but he still pees/poops on the floors when I let him come out to play. **I just got the litter box set from Purina today, has anyone tried it? any tips on how to make it go smoothly?**

2. currently he sleeps and spends most of his time in a playpen (since i'm so sensitive about using the small plastic crate cause of all of his crying). he's finally stopped crying as much when i have to leave him in the playpen so as a new owner, you can understand how relieved i am! what is the easiest way to make a transition to the small crate and how often should I keep him in that and how often should I keep him in the playpen?

3. I'm moving to an apartment in 2-3 weeks, what are some good apartment + new Yorkie tips? Oh and from some people I hear that you have to constantly give the puppy food/water at all times, but doesn't that make "crate training" so much harder?

THANKS!!
