During the day all your healthy puppies can at least hold it 1 hour for every month they are. Some will be able to hold it longer. But this means that your little yorkies might not be able to hold it 8 hours until they are 8 months old.
By 6 months they should be able to hold it 8 hours at night.
I think yorkies are harder to train because A. the house is a much bigger place to them than to a Lab. B. it is harder to tell if they are going potty, and they do it quickly!
My big dogs sniffed every were, turned in circles and peed for 20 seconds so they were alot easier to catch!
My Yorkie would walk to the other side of the couch and come right back out and would have magically gone on the floor in that time. It was mind boggling!!
I think putting him on a leash is the only way to watch them closely enough. And creating them [when they are old enough] when you are not watching them.
That is what I did and both my Yorkie and Crested are completely potty trained!
