  No, you said dogs... I am specifically talking about the yorkie breed. What does crate training have to do with this thread 

 btw, I have not used crates either...I was just concerned about letting a Yorkie baby go before 12 weeks old . they need time to learn socialization skills from their littermates and mother , and be so tiny they are more prone to Hypo. eposoides. This is common knowledge.
