We have had good luck with our Yorkie. She is now 5 mos. old and has only had 4 accidents. We put up a erase board on the refrigerator so we could track her pee's and poops. We also installed a bell by the door, made it so she could reach it with her nose, because she doesn't bark when she needs to go out. She has accomplished ringing the bell by herself 4 times now in the last month when she needs to poop. We have been blessed at night. From the time we brought her home at 8 weeks, she has slept completely through the night. We put her in bed at 8:30 pm. We do pull the water and food at 6:45 pm. I do, however, put water on my finger and let her lick it just to wet the inside of her mouth before going to bed. By doing this she sleeps until 6:30 am- 7:00 am. When she awakes, she goes out once, does both, then in another hour she goes out again. The only time we don't take her out hourly is when we are away and she has made it so far up to 5 hours. She is truly amazing. But just taking her out every hour has helped alot, and we watch to make sure she goes. When she goes, we reward her with a treat. Hope things get better for you.
