There is hope!!!!! Don't you fret! I got Fiona when she was about 3.5 months old. She is now 6 months old and is housebroken to a tee!

You need to be consistant with him, he is still so young, and has a SMALL BLADDER!!!!! Yorkies are known to be the worst to housetrain, but you can overcome it!

I came up with a command word when taking Fiona out. As soon as they urinate/deficate you say the word. When Fiona would pee I'd say " Good Pee Pee" and really rewarded her when she went. You gotta make sure that EVERYONE in your home is saying the same word, and doing the same thing with him. It is to the point now, when I take Fiona out, I"ll say to her " Go pee pee" and she squats and goes!!!!!!

If you are crate training- first thing in the am- take him right out- if your out there for 10-15min and he has done 1 over the other, simply put him back in the crate for another 10 min and try it again. Usually with puppies they are going to have to go after being really active, eating, and sleeping. I would also try pulling food and water at night so he wont go in the crate!

GOOD LUCK!!!! It can be done! I promise!
