I know I am pessimistic when it comes to housetraining a Yorkie. I have had many well trained ones...but it took a long time. My 14 wks old is doing very well, but she is far from being safe to let on carpets..fortunately, here in Florida we only have them in two bedrooms.

I read the posts and this is the number one problem, over and over. Until I started insisting on male neutering at 6 months, I had many puppy owners complain years later they did not have a trained male.
I must say my Katherine was 100% trained, but not until she was spayed at 5 years.
Let's face it..I am a bad mother when it comes to training Yorks...I had my Doxie pups trained at 12 weeks without fail. Same with a Min Pin I had a few years back...not my Yorks! LOL
