Whoa buddy! You're gonna offend a lot of people with that comment! Take a walk down to the training section and look through all the threads on potty training. Yes, it helps to be 100% consistent, and they are smart dogs. Very smart and very stubborn. There is a chance your puppy could be pad trained in a week, or you could get one that just doesn't get it. It's a chance, and people are making you aware of the chance and you are acting like it couldn't possibly happen to you!
You have already made your decision and if you truly feel like it is 100% the right decision you should stop defending that decision and start really researching the breed and finding a good breeder. Many good breeders have extensive waiting lists and only one or two litters per year so it is extremely important you start researching reputable breeders as well as the congenital health issues Yorkies are incredibly prone to.
