thats it ^ I hope that will work...since I dont have any extra rooms in my apartment and I share with 3 other people.

Ive been working on his commands and using some healthy treats but i want to maybe switch them up with possibly some fruit veggies or grilled chicken. I know i should never give him scraps but these would be fresh and healthy I assume. by the way he can already sit, laydown, give paw, and rollover! it was so exciting to see him respond to me like that. I have never trained any animals before so everything is a new experience.

Also...i thought yorkies ears are supposed to stand at a point? will his eventually do that?

I would try using the xpen with pee pads in there covering the entire floor and see how he does with that- only taking him out to be with you under supervision and if signs of sniffing and potty time come up put him in his xpen until he goes then just praise the heck out of him! Good luck and what a cutie!

Something else I have heard about the xpens is to not let them know they can go over it- just an FYI so I would use the door to get him out and move a post for you to go in and out. That way you might be able to avoid him going over it.
