Have you tried keeping her on a leash in the house when you have her out of the pen? That way you can keep a really close eye on her. When she starts to go...immediatly say NO and pick her up and take her to the pad.....then give her a very short lead to circle around and finish what she started!! That is what my breeder told me and it seems to be working....also, I know a lot of people will disagree with this, but I have a second pad out for her too. It is in the living room so that when she is far away from her pen (far to her is one room away) she has a designated area to go in and sometimes I think that she prefers not to go back into her pen when she is having her "freedom" time. As each day passes she uses the pad in the living room less frequently but she knows it is there. It only took us about a week of keeping her on the leash in the house before she started looking for the pad on her own. By the way, I noticed you are in Morristown, TN...I used to live in Knoxville!! How old is your yorkie??
