I have mine trained for both...outside and pp pads just in case they must go inside. Also, I think 8 weeks is too young for walks right now. Best of luck and I'm sure others will reply soon with other suggestions. |
I just checked with two local vet offices here where we live. Both said 8 weeks to bring home a yorkie puppy was fine. They said puppies are usually weaned from their mothers around 6 weeks of age so 8 weeks is fine for them to come to their new home.
