Hello all. I am so glad I found this website. It has been so beneficial. We got our very first Yorkie one week ago today. She is 9 weeks old today. We started crate training which is going GREAT. She has only had one accident in her crate. She has only had about 6 or 8 accidents in the house since we brought her home. She has really caught on to the going outside thing. We have decided to also pee pee pad train because I am a teacher. I spoke with a trainer and she suggested this because I will be gone approximately 10 hours/day when school starts back and she thinks this will be too long for her to be in her crate without going potty. We bought a doggy litter box and put a pee pee pad in it. (per advice from trainer) but Ella will have NOTHING to do with it. She will sniff around so I put her in there and she jumps right out. As soon as I take her out, she potties outside. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
New Yorkie Mommy
