Kevin007,

It can be very overwhelming when you get a new puppy. One thing I learned right away is that at 8 weeks you can guarantee that he/she will have to potty after every nap. So here is a hint. When he/she wakes up, take them right over to a potty pad and wait for them to potty, then praise him/her when they do. This should help with learning. Yorkies are very smart, I taught my baby to sit in just a few hours. However, they are sometimes harder to potty train. develop a schedule of taking him/her outside that stays the same. Your puppy needs routine to learn.

Shower him/her with cuddles and play time...and let him/her get to know their new home. Oh, and nibbles on toes and fingers...won't go away very soon...but get a nice chew toy to help out. Good luck and congrats! Do you have a name?
