We just got our second yorkie. A female named Lilly. She is 7 weeks old, so everybody knows that she loves to pee on the floor at this age.
We are pee-pad training her. I am going with this method. When she pees on the pad, we praise her, give her pets, and a treat. That kind of thing.
When she pees of the pad, Im going with a simple 'NO Lilly" and putting her on the pee-pad, making her stay for at least a few seconds, with no further punishment.
The question is, how loud should my 'No Lilly" be???

So far, I have a few mirrors in our house, so I can hid around corners, and catch her peeing or pooping everytime. When i catch her peeing or pooping off the pad, I stomp my foot on the ground, shaking the whole house, and yell in a yelling manner "NO, LILLY!!!" then she goes to the pad.

Should my NO's be softer.? Should I not be frightning her? Would a firm, but quieter NO be better, or is it alright to pound my foot on the floor to scare her?
