Honestly I will say as a new yorkie owner, they really are similar to having a child as opposed to a dog, I know that sounds strange but they do require alot of work, quality time and love, they also do not like to be left alone to often....I do not mean this in a bad way but perhaps having a yorkie isnt they type breed you were meant to have... I am honestly amazed at how much attention they require and often reference it to having my first baby!! When I got my puppy I set my alarm clock to 12-3-6 am for potty breaks, she is completley house broken and never has accidents but it was my dedication and constant supervision. I really hope that things work out for you with your puppy... but I really think that a xpen with more room , some toys , a kong and a bed would work wonders!!

Thanks for your reply. He is not caged ALL the time.
