First of all, you should have researched the breed better before you brought one home. Yorkies are well-known for being very hard to potty train and many are often never potty trained 100%. It can take months to a year to get a yorkie pretty well potty trained.

Second, he's only 12 weeks! You've only had him for 2 weeks. You can not potty train a dog in only two weeks! Any dog! It just doesn't happen. A dog is not a cat that you can set down in a litterbox and then it's trained for the rest of it's life - dog's take a lot of training before they get it down.

Third, you bought him from a petstore, and petstore puppies are normally harder to potty train because they are kept in kennels (and often come from puppymills) where they've peed and pooped in their cage for weeks and weeks...it's all they know. So not only did you get a breed that is hard to potty train, you got it from a petstore which can make them even more harder to train.

Have you ever potty trained a dog before? It's a long difficult process. You need to learn to have some patience
