Welcome. I just got one about 1 month ago that was 11 mos old. She was not potty trained, didn't know how to give kisses and didn't seem to know what a toy is. In a months time she is trained to go to the pee pads - we are still working on outside. She sleeps in a carrier and she has never messed it up and she has started playing with my other yorkie and her toys. They do come around, it just takes a little time and love. I just wish she would learn to give kisses.
