Because you will be gone so long during the day you need enough room for her to have a sleeping area, a play area and an area for the pee pad. She is too young to crate for that long during the day. If you can get her on a long weekend or when you are off work for several days to get her "started" that would be ideal. She will be harder to train because you cannot constantly supervise her, but she will learn. You cannot leave her outside when you are gone. She is too little and too young.
I would suggest an indoor pen of some sort. If she is a tiny yorkie, a playpen works well, if she is bigger, a larger pen you can get at Petsmart or some other pet store. You might consider getting two puppies because yorkies will be very lonely being alone for that long everyday. Boredom causes more behavior problems. A second dog to keep her company is best.
Good luck! |
