I had the same problem when I first brought my baby home. I got her when she was 10 weeks old and she would pee outside as soon as I brought her out but like 10 minutes later she would pee in the house. She would pee 3 or 4 times a hour. I was convinced that she had a bladder infection and I even called my breeder and asked if this was normal. I had a 13 year old male yorkie that we had to say good-bye to last winter and I remembered he trained really easy and he never had to pee 4 times an hour. Before that I had male poodles through the years and I never remembered them ever doing that either. I thought that this might be a female thing or maybe it was because it was July and it was hot and she was drinking quite a bit of water. The breeder said that she thought that was a lot and to be on the safe side have her urine checked. The test was $60 and everything came back perfectly normal. The vet said that being she was such a tiny puppy 2lbs., she also had a tiny immature bladder and that was common with these tiny dogs. Every month got a little better and she is now 6 months 5lbs and can hold it about 2 hours. My male could hold it all day if he had to but he was a lot bigger 10lbs. I guess every dog is different. Piper just got spayed last week and I'm wondering if I'll see a change.
