Hi,
We are planning to adopt a Yorkie puppy in the near future (we are looking at breeders now and doing research.)
I have experience with crate training a beagle (11 years ago) not to mention toilet training my 3 children. I would like to train the Yorkie pup to do "potty" all outside. Luckily, our schedules are such that the puppy would not be home alone for more than a few (about 4) hours at a stretch. How often does a 3 - 4 month old Yorkie need to go out? How long can they go at night without peeing the crate? I really don't want to do "pee pads" indoors, especially since we have kids and a cat.
Does anyone have any info to share?
Thanks!
