I really know what you are going through. We got Piper when she was 10 weeks old. It was in July so we decided to outdoor train. We would take her out and she would pee right away but she would also pee here and there about 10 minutes later. Even if I brought her out every 30 minutes she would have a piddle spot. She would even piddle running across the floor while fetching her ball yet she was able to hold her urine all night when she was in her crate. I had a 13 year old male yorkie who passed away last winter. He never peed all the time when he was a baby. I remember that he completely trained within a month. (Couldn't understand how people thought yorkies were hard to house train). Then thought maybe it was a girl thing. After a week I was convince she had a bladder infection. Took her to the vets and he thought she didn't have an infection but just an immature bladder and she just didn't realize that she was capable of holding urine. He said that you have to remember that her bladder was only the size of a pea and she just didn't know that she was capable of holding her urine so she would pee whenever she had the urge. In time she would figure that out but he would run the tests on the urine to rule out an infection. There was no infection so I guess she had the immature bladder. It was a few months before the piddlin stopped. I use to call her Piddle Piper. By 6 months she was what I would call house broken. Even now if she is playing ball hard and hasn't gone out in a couple hours I'll see the piddle dribble across the floor. Hang in there and I'm sure over the next couple weeks you'll notice there are less piddle spots.
