When Bella was a baby I took her out and said the same thing everytime.

When she was sucessful I gave her a small treat. Even a piece of her kibble and made a huge display of how proud I was!!!

When she went outside to potty, there was not playing!
if she didnt potty we came back inside.

If she went out to play I said something different like ball or wanna go for a walk.
Yorkies are so smart. They learn. However it took Bella 10 months to get the potty thing down pat. she learned to sit in one day.
its not the same.
Having a puppy is like having a baby. they need so much attention the first year.
YOU have to be patient. YOU need to figure out if the time and effort is worth it to you.
Be open to YT suggestions and try to relax
