My boyfriend and I just bought a Yorkie and are bringing him home tomorrow. Both of us have had family dogs in the past, but weren't solely in charge of training them. We both want to be good owners and raise a happy, healthy, obedient dog, so what are a few things we should be sure to do?

We named him Norman, and he's just under 6 months old. Also, I've been reading the potty training forums and most of the owners use potty pads. After talking it over with my boyfriend, we decided that since we live in a one-bedroom apartment, that isn't the best way for us to go. If anyone has tips about training your Yorkie to go outside, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!
