My new yorkie is driving me NUTS!!! I havent had a full nights sleep in 2 weeks, I have to wake up every 2 hours to take him out. But he never ever pees outside at night because he always pees in his crate (sometimes poops too). His crate is just big enough for him to turn around in and I dont understand why he religiously uses his crate for a toilet. My beagle never did this.

He is SOOO stubborn, if he travels too far in the yard, I will clap my hands or make a startling noise to make him stop...but does he stop?!? NO! He doesnt even look at me. We have been working on 'COME' but still he only comes if he chooses even with a treat. And no, he isnt deaf.

When I brush him, even before I touch his fur, he yelps like a big baby and throws a gigantic fit which usually results in not getting him completely brushed.

Please tell me my dog is not just an idiot and please give me lots of advice. My boyfriend says I should throw him like a baseball off a bridge but hes just too dang CUTE!
