I feel for you buddy. Yorkies are harder to train than other dogs. I think it's because their blatters are so small, or maybe they don't develop full control of the muscles until they're older. Making them feel bad won't help. Joey's breeder told us to ignore the accidents and praise the success. Joey didn't like disposable pee pads, but he did take to the washable ones. I made some up from old towels, before I invested in them. I put the towel in a place he had chosen to go accidentally. In the morning, I always took him out side first thing and praised the heck out of him, same thing at night and after meals. We thought he was trained at 2 months, but it was more like 8 months before he was really consistent. As far as the bell goes, this too takes training, but can't be started until you already have trained him to go outside. I think the poo training takes even longer. Feed him at consistent times and take him outside after eating. Usually they have to poo about 5 minutes after eating. At 2 months old, you're still suppose to be free feeding him so I don't know how you're going to do that. They don't usually recommend twice a day feeding until the age of 8 months.

Oh, I was typing away, while you posted. Glad things are better.
