Wow! Can I have your husband? That is so sweet....although he may have had second thoughts about his plan...since you cried and cried the day before.

How are you trying to train her? Indoors on pads or outside?

I never trained either of mine on pads. For outside...I took them out hourly up until bedtime...and repeated the phrase go potty. When they did go...praise, praise, praise...a treat works well too...cheerios are a big hit. I did take mine out the same door to outside...eventually when they did tell me...they needed to go..it was this door they went to. Take her potty first thing in the morning, first thing after eating, after naps, and before bed. She made be able to hold it all night...or she may not...so a middle of the night break might be needed.

I would suggest a better quality food....such as royal canine, Innova, Canidae, Wellness. Some yorkies have a problem with itching with royal canine...mine do not. You can purchase those foods at Petsmart or other pet supply stores. I did not moisten mine but mine were both 3-4 weeks older than Belle when I got them.

At that chewing age....I gave mine bully sticks as treats. There are small training treats available from the makers of Kongs. You'll find those at pet stores too.

I never gave either of mine cottage cheese...so no help there.

Enjoy your new bundle of love!!!
